nevsk [136]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

Cellulose refers to the main component present in the cell walls of plants, which assists the plants to stay strong and stiff. Humans do not possess the tendency to digest cellulose, however, it is essential in the diet as a source of fiber. Cellulose refers to a molecule that comprises hundreds and thousands of hydrogen, carbon, and atoms of oxygen.  

It is an example of a natural polymer and is a long and repeating chain of a similar molecule combined together. The molecules of cellulose are held together in the form of bundles that are big enough to produce fibers. The fibers of cellulose produce long and parallel strands, which are linked together with the help of hydrogen bonds. The connected cellulose fibers are robust and offer structural support to the cell.

What product do all three reactions in Model 2 have in common?
belka [17]

Answer;

-They all provide water

Explanation;

In reaction A, the reactants are glucose and fructose , and the products are Sucrose and water. This is a condensation reaction, following the combination of two monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) forming a dissaccharide (sucrose) and water.

In reaction B, the reactants are two amino acids, that results to formation of a dipeptide and water; this is also a condensation reaction joining two amino acids monomers, to form a dipeptide and water.

-In reaction C, a monoglyceride combines with a fatty acid to form a diglyceride and water. This is also an example of a condensation reaction that results to formation of a diglyceride and water.

Therefore, the similarity of all the reactions is that they are all condensation reactions, with water as a common product.
