Proteoglycan in cartilage which is a part of polysaccharide :

Proteoglycan in cartilage which is a part of polysaccharide :
A Chondroitin
B Ossein
C Casein
D Cartilagen

Detailed Solution

The matrix of cartilage contains proteoglycans whose polysaccharide part is chondroitin sulphate (a glycosaminoglycan), together with collagen fibres. The matrix protein is called chondrin.
Ossein is the protein of bone, and casein is the protein of milk.
So the polysaccharide of cartilage proteoglycan is chondroitin.
