Cellulose, the most important constituent of plant cell wall is made of
-
- unbranched chain of glucose molecules linked by α-1, 4 glycosidic bond
- branched chain of glucose molecules linked by β-1, 4 glycosidic bond in straight chain and α-1, 6 glycosidic bond at the site of branching
- unbranched chain of glucose molecules linked by β-1, 4 glycosidic bond
- branched chain of glucose molecules linked by α-1, 6 glycosidic bond at the site of branching.
Correct Option: C
Cellulose is the structural polysaccharide of plant cell walls. They are long chain polymers of β-glucose units. The adjacent β-glucose units are joined by linkages.
