What is cellulose?
Options
- AA variant of starch
- BA storehouse of energy in animal tissues
- CA polymer of fructose
- DA polymeric polysaccharide consisting of only one type of monosaccharide (glucose)
Correct answer
D. A polymeric polysaccharide consisting of only one type of monosaccharide (glucose)
Step-by-step solution
Cellulose is a polymeric polysaccharide consisting of only one type of monosaccharide i.e., glucose. Cellulose is a homopolymer. Starch is a variant of this but present as a store house of energy in plant tissues. Animals have another variant called glycogen. Inulin is a polymer of fructose.
