Correct option is D
The correct answer is glucose.
· Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of ẞ(14) linked D-glucose units.
· It is a major component of the cell walls of plants and is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth.
· Cellulose provides structural strength to the plant cells and is used in the production of paper, textiles, and various other products.
Information Booster
· Humans cannot digest cellulose, but it is important in the diet as a source of fiber, which aids in digestion.
· Cellulose is also used in the production of biofuels and as a chemical feedstock in industrial processes.
Additional Information
·
Starch is another polysaccharide made of glucose units but differs in structure and digestibility compared to cellulose.
·
Chitin is a polysaccharide similar to cellulose but contains nitrogen; it is found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi.
·
Hemicellulose is another component of plant cell walls but is more easily hydrolyzed than cellulose and consists of various sugar monomers.
