Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The monomer unit for cellulose is ____
A
Glucose
B
Galactose
C
Amino acids
D
Glucose and fructose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose: Beta glucose is the monomer unit in cellulose. As a result of the bond angles in the beta acetal linkage, cellulose is mostly a linear chain. Starch: Alpha glucose is the monomer unit in starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose is a natural polymer present in the plant cell walls. They have glucose (C6H12O6) as its monomer, which forms the repeating unit.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: it is one unit, so a glucose molecule is a monomer (more specifically a monosaccharide) it can form a polymer (being starch or glycogen )when a large number of glucose molecules joined together by glycosidic bonds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is a linear polymer glucan and is composed of glucose units (> 10 000), which are linked by -(1–4)-glycosidic bonds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monomer of Cellulose is −D−glucose.
