Cellulose is a linear polymer ofA. `beta-D-` glucoseB. `alpha-D-` glucoseC. `alpha-D-` fructoseD. `beta-D`-fructose

Answer» Correct Answer - A
CellUlose, the chief constituent of the cell walls of plants, is a straight chain polysaccharide composed of only D-glucose units, which are joined by `beta`-glycosidic linkage between `C-1` of one glucose unit and `C - 4` of the next glucose unit. The molecular mass of cellulose is in the range of 50,000 - 500,000 (300 -2500 D-glucose units). It is used in the manufacture of paper, rayon and gun cotton.
