What phrase correctly describes cellulose?

Answer 1

Cellulose is some combination of glucose molecules, which is: (2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanol

For example, three glucoses together for a 3 monomer unit of cellulose is:

(3R,4S,5S,6R)-2-[(2R,3S,4R,5R)-4,5-dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-6-[(2R,3S,4R,5R,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-3-yl]oxyoxan-3-yl]oxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-3,4,5-triol

Answer 2

It is most commonly called "fiber." It can also be called a "polysaccharide" meaning a complex sugar (cellulose is a complex sugar or polysaccharide that is mostly indigestible to the human body).

Answer 3

I guess the simplest word for cellulose would be "sugar" or "glucose" to be more precise.

Answer 4

Another name for polysaccharide is carbohydrate. It is a carbohydrate made up of repeating monosaccharide in pectin, starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
