(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Among the characterization(s) homopolysaccharide, heteropolysaccharide, straight-chain polysaccharide and storage polysaccharide, that applies to both the members of the given pairs of carbohydrates has to be stated.

Concept introduction: The polymer which is formed by the combination of several monosaccharides is called a polysaccharide.  These monosaccharides can be same, called as homopolysaccharide or different called as heteropolysaccharides.

A molecule with a straight chain is called straight chain polysaccharide.

The polysaccharide that is a storage form for monosaccharides and is used as an energy source in cells is called as storage polysaccharide.
