carbohydrate; fatty acid molecules
C
polymer; glucose molecules
D
polypeptide; monomers

It is a polysaccharide that consists of several glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. It is formed by beta 1, 4 linkage of the glucose unit.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, cellulose is a polymer of “-D glucose."

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The two polymers that have glucose monomers are glycogen and starch. Both are branched polymers made of many individual glucose molecules linked together.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is a polysaccharide or complex carbohydrate made up of hundreds to thousands of glucose molecules linked together to form a chain. Plants, algae, bacteria, and other microorganisms produce cellulose, whereas animals do not.
