  • Reason for merge
    'mucopolysaccharide metabolic process' isn't a necessary or useful grouping term.
    Moreover, several sources say that'mucopolysaccharide' is synonymous with glycosaminoglycan:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycosaminoglycan
    https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/mucopolysaccharidoses
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK544295/
