Question
Cellulose is a condensation polymer of:(a) $\alpha$ -galactose(b) $\alpha$ -glucose(c) $\beta$ -glucose(d) $\beta$ -galactose
Step 1
It provides strength and rigidity to plant cells. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, which means it is made up of many sugar molecules linked together. The sugar molecule that makes up cellulose is glucose. There are two forms of glucose: alpha (α) and beta (β). The Show more…
