Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyaluronate is a heteropolysaccharide because it is composed of repeating units of alternating sugars (N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid) which are different from each other. Cellulose, chitin, glycogen, and starch are all homopolysaccharides because they are composed of repeating units of the same sugar.
