Answer: (C) Fructose. Answer: (C) Fructose.
- A.Amino acids
- B.Glucose
- C.Fructose✓
- D.Galactose
Correct Answer
(C) Fructose
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (C) Fructose. Solution: Inulin is a storage polysaccharide built from repeating fructose units, making it a polymer of fructose (a polyfructosan); it is not a polymer of glucose (that is cellulose/starch/glycogen), galactose or amino acids. NCERT lists inulin alongside cellulose, starch and glycogen as polysaccharides while specifying its monomer is fructose. NCERT Reference: Ch 9, p.110, line ~38 — "Inulin is a polymer of fructose."
