Starch and cellulose are classified as what type of carbohydrate?
C. Homopolysaccharide. They are made up of repeating sugar units that do not differentiate on the side chain. Heteropolysaccharides are hyaluronic acid which is found in areas of high impact. These polysaccharides are aligned in a lattice style structure causing an increase in surface area for flexion.
