Mucopolysaccharides : The slimy substances produced by plants are called mucilages. When you sock the seeds of isabgol (Plantago ovata) or cut up the fruit or okra/bhindi), you will notice the presence of a simy substance. Mucilages are polysaccharides formed from galactose and mannose. Many seaweeds yield mucilages such as agar, alginic acid and carrageenin which are of commerical value

Mucopolysaccharides are found in the cell walls of bacteria and in the connective tissues of animals, as well as in body fluids. These bind protein in cell walls and connective tissue and water in interstitial spaces. These provide lubrication in ligaments and tendons. The viterous humor of the eye and synovial fluid also contain mucopolysaccharides. Hyaluronic acid is found in connective tissue and in cell walls, Keratin sulphate and chondriotin sulphate occur in cartilage, cornea and the skin and impart strength and flexibility to them
