Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Monomer Units

The polymer shown consists of repeating glucose units. Each monomer is a glucose molecule, which is a hexose sugar.

Step 2: Determine the Type of Linkage

The glucose units are connected by α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. This type of linkage is characteristic of certain polysaccharides.

Step 3: Compare with Given Options
  • Amylose: A polysaccharide made of α(1→4) linked glucose units.
  • Protein: Composed of amino acids, not glucose.
  • Glycogen: Similar to amylose but also has α(1→6) branches.
  • Cellulose: Composed of β(1→4) linked glucose units.

Final Answer

The polymer shown above is most likely Amylose.
