Question

Odd one out with respect to homopolymer-cellulose, glycogen, protein, starch

Answer 1

Odd one: Protein

Cellulose, glycogen and starch are homopolymer with glucose as monomers.
Protein is also a homopolymer but in this amino acids are monomers.

Answer 2

Protein is the odd one out with respect to the homopolymer.

Explanation:

• A homopolymer is a polymer with the same monomer unit throughout the chain.
• Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate composed of multiple glucose units connected by glycosidic bonds.
• Glycogen is a branching glucose polymer. It dissolves easily in water. It is made up of alpha D glucose units that are primarily linked by 1-4 glycosidic linkages and are extensively branched with 1-6 links.
• Cellulose is a polysaccharide which is found in plants and is a homopolymer. It is made up of beta 1,4 linkage of the glucose unit.

• A homopolymer is one in which all of the monomers are the same. The polymer is heteropolymer if the monomers are not similar.
• Proteins are heteropolymers because they are made up of up to 20 distinct amino acids. Proteins are heteropolymers made up of amino acids linked by peptide linkage that exist naturally.
