Expert Solution
Step 1

Cellulose is a linear polymer of glucose attached via glycosidic bonds. Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose attached through glycosidic bond. Maltose is also a disaccharide composed of two glucose units attached via glycosidic bond. Amylopectin is a branched polymer of glucose attached through glycosidic bonds. Pectin is a heteropolysaccharide. Heteropolysaccharide contains different types of sugars attached with each other through glycosidic bonds. The main component of pectin is galacturonic acid.
