Why do you suppose the structural polysaccharide cellulose does not contain branches?

Biology
1 answer:
Igoryamba3 years ago
5 0

This is because cellulose is composed of beta glucose units, unlike starch that is formed using alpha-glucose units. The beta acetal linkage between units allows for linear chains hence branches are unlikely. The alpha acetal linkages allow for spiral chains. The beta glucose is good for structural polysaccharides because it allow for best interaction between polymer chains and increases the integrity and strength of the cells wall.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: Option A.

Explanation:

Maltoporin is a membrane protein. It forms trimetric structure that facilitate the translocation of maltodextrins across outer membrane of E.coli bacteria. It is responsible for the guided diffusion in E.coli. it recognised bacteriophage sequence. It formed water filled pores across the outer membranes of gram negative bacteria. The lining of channel with maltoporin has a series of aromatic side chains stranded in a helical pattern matching the relative curvature of the protein backbone, thus providing little restriction to transport.
