Cellulose is a polymer of:

Options

  1. Aglucose
  2. Bfructose
  3. Cribose
  4. Dsucrose

Correct answer

A. glucose

Step-by-step solution

Cellulose is a polymer of glucose - D (+) glucose units are attached to each other by Cl to C 4 bonds through p-glycosidic linkage in structure of cellulose. Related Theory Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide polymer with many glucose monosaccharide units. The acetal linkage is beta which makes it different from starch. This peculiar difference in acetal linkages results in a major difference in digestibility in humans. Fructose is a monosaccharide that is found in fruits and vegetables. They have a fivemembered c
