Which do you think is more thermodynamically stable? A linear polysaccharide made of random sequences of different hexose monomers (glucose, galactose, mannose, etc. - heteroisomers) or one made from only one type of isomer (homoisomers)?

Answer:

one made from only one type of isomer (homoisomers)

Explanation:

Polymers made up of one isomer i.e. homo isomers are more Thermo dynamically Ā stable than the those are made of different monomers. Ā The reason being the bonding between similar kind of molecules are much stronger and hence are difficult to Ā break at low temperature,

whereas the polysaccharide made of random sequences of different hexose monomers are less stable on heating because their bonding not so strong.
