Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose is a polymer made with repeated glucose units bonded together by beta-linkages.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose is a polysaccharide found in all plants. Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer in the world. Cellulose is made of beta-glucose monomers, where the O-H group on carbon one points up.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of a linear chain of -1, 4 linked d-glucose units with a degree of polymerization ranged from several hundreds to over ten thousands, which is the most abundant organic polymer on the earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose, not cellobiose, is the repeating unit of cellulose and why that is important.
Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is a storage polysaccharide in animals. It is a homopolymer made up of repeating units of glucose only.
