Solution

The correct option which represents the homopolysaccharides made up of Glucose monomers is "Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose".

Here's why:

  1. Maltose, Trehalose, Sucrose: These are disaccharides, not homopolysaccharides. They are made up of two monosaccharides.

  2. Chitin, Glycogen, Heparin: Chitin is a homopolysaccharide, but it is made up of N-acetylglucosamine, not glucose. Heparin is a heteropolysaccharide.

  3. Starch, Inulin, Verbascose: Inulin is a fructan, not a glucan. Verbascose is a pentasaccharide, not a homopolysaccharide.

  4. Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose: These are all homopolysaccharides made up of glucose monomers. Starch and glycogen are storage forms of glucose in plants and animals, respectively. Cellulose is a structural polysaccharide found in plant cell walls.
