Homopolysaccharides are polysaccharides (polymers) composed of a single type of sugar monomer. For example, cellulose is an unbranched homopolysaccharide made up of glucose monomers connected via beta-glycosidic linkages; glycogen is a branched form, where the glucose monomers are joined by alpha-glycosidic linkages. Depending upon the molecules attached thet are of following types 1. Glucan - A polysaccharide of glucose 2. Fructan - A polysaccharide of fructose 3. Galactan - A polysaccharide of galactose 4. Araban - A polysaccharide of arabinose 5. Xylan - A polysaccharide of xylose 〔Champe, Harvey, Ferrier.
