A) branched chain of glucose molecules linked by`\[\alpha ,\,\,1,\,\,6-\]glycosidic bond at the site of branching
B) unbranched chain of glucose molecules linked by \[\alpha ,\,\,1,\,\,4-\]glycosidic bond
C) branched chain of glucose molecules linked by \[\beta ,\,\,1,\,\,4-\]glycosidic bond in straight chain and \[\alpha ,\,\,1,\,\,6-\]glycosidic bond at the site of branching
D) unbranched chain of glucose molecules linked by \[\beta ,\,\,1,\,\,4-\]glycosidic bond
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Cellulose\[{{({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{10}}{{O}_{5}})}_{n}}\]is the most abundant organic polymer. It is a polysaccharide and consists of long unbranched chains of glucose residues linked by \[\beta ,\,\,1,\,\,4-\]glycosidic bonds. In plants, cellulose is formed from sugar. It serves as a building material in the formation of cell wall.
