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 β−D(+)\beta-\mathrm{D}(+) glucose units are attached to each other by Cl\mathrm{Cl} to C4\mathrm{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 carbon ring and the general formula is C6H12O6\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6. Insulin is a naturally occurring homopolymer of fructose which consists of 3-60 monomers.
