Which monosaccharide units are present in strach, cellulose and glucose and which linkage link these units? |
|
Answer» Monosaccharides units present in strach, cellulose and glucose can be determined by knowing the product of their hydrolysis. (i) Strach is a polysaccharide of `alpha`-glucose in which two types of linkage are observed i.e., `C_(1)-C_(6)` and `C_(1)-C_(4)` glycosidic linkage (ii) Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide of `beta-D` glucose in which glucose are linked together by `C_(1)-C_(4)` glycosidic linkage. (iii) Glucose is a monosaccharide. |
