BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide polymer with many glucose monosaccharide units.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose is a linear polymer glucan and is composed of glucose units (> 10 000), which are linked by -(1–4)-glycosidic bonds. The regular arrangement of the hydroxyl groups along the cellulose chain leads to the formation of H-bridges and therefore to a fibrillar structure with crystalline properties.

Detailed explanation-3: -Polysaccharides are ubiquitous biopolymers that occur widely in nature. These are polymers of simple sugars that are monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic linkages. There are different types of polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is a natural linear polymer (polysaccharide), composed of glucose units, with the formula (C6H10O5)X. It is generally synthesized by plants. Biodegradability and resistance to hydrolysis are the main properties of this polysaccharide. This biopolymer is found in most plants mainly in the leaves and stalks.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellulose is also polysaccharide and amorphous. Thus it is tasteless and non-sugar.
