Hyaluronic acid, one of the polymers that accounts for the toughness and flexibility of cartilage and tendon, typiiies this group of extracellular polysaccharides. Other heteropolysaccharides, sometimes in very large aggregates with proteins (proteoglycans), account for the high viscosity and lubricating properties of some extracellular secretions.
These non-starch polysaccharides include cellulose and the hemicelluloses (pectins, gums, xylans, and mucilages). Both types of polysaccharidesâstarch and non-starchâhave important roles to play in our health. The starches serve primarily as an intermediate form of energy.
