- A \(\beta\)-D-glucose units joined through 1,4-glycosidic linkages
- B \(\alpha\)-D-glucose units joined through 1,4 -glycosidic linkages
- C \(\alpha\)-D-glucose units joined through 1,6-glycosidic linkages
- D \(\beta\)-D-glucose units joined through 1,6-glycosidic linkages
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\beta\)-D-glucose units joined through 1,4-glycosidic linkages
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\beta-D-\) Glucose units joined through 1-4 glycosidic linkages. Cellulose is a linear polymer consisting of \(\beta-1-4\) - linked D - glucose residues. These glucose units are joined by glycosidic bonds between their \(\mathrm{C}_1\) and \(\mathrm{C}_4\) positions and the…
