The structure of cellulose consists of long polymer chains of glucose units connected by a beta acetal linkage.

<h3>Explain how the structure of a cellulose molecule relates to the molecule's function?</h3>

Cellulose molecules are those molecules which are arranged to parallel to each other (flipped 180 degrees) with hydrogen bonds joining them. It forms strong cable-like structures for support. This is important as it keeps the plant straight and upright. A polysaccharide consisting of beta-glucose monomers joined by beta-1,4 glycosidic linkages. Each glucose molecule is flipped in relation to the ones beside it. There are hydrogen bonds between parallel strands.

So we can conclude that: The structure of cellulose consists of long polymer chains of glucose units connected by a beta acetal linkage.
