Question

Cellulose is an example of a ________. polypeptide polysaccharide monosaccharide steroid

Answer 1

Cellulose is an example of a polysaccharide.

Plants produce a polysaccharide known as cellulose. It makes up a part of the cell walls. This substance is a polymer made up of many glucose monomers connected by glycosidic connections. They consist of a linear chain of β 1,4-linked d-glucose units that have been polymerized to varying degrees (from a few hundred to over ten thousand).

Compared to starch or glycogen, cellulose has a distinct structure and consequently different properties because of how the glucose molecules are bonded together. On cellulose, the hydrolyzing enzymes for starch do not function.

The majority of species cannot digest cellulose. Therefore it bypasses them (roughage). Termites and goats have microbes that help them digest cellulose; they don't actually do it themselves.
