Is cellulose a carbohydarte?
Cellulose is a form of carbohydrate
Is cellulose form of starch?
No. Cellulose and starch are both forms of carbohydrates, not a form of one another.
What is a non digestible polysaccharide?
Chitin and cellulose are both polysaccharides. Chitin is sturctural form of glucose in insects, the exoskeleton. Cellulose is the structural form of glucose in plants. When you "snap" a piece of plant, the "snap" is the cellulose. Cellulose can not be broken down by the stomache. It gets pushed out through the excretory system. Cellulose is fiber.
What chemical reaction forms cellulose?
Cellulose is the polymer of Glucose the polymerization of is through DEHYDRATION reaction among Glucose molecules.
How are carbohydrates used in plants?
to convert water and carbon dioxide from the environment into glucose and oxygen

What is a modified form of cellulose found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans?
There is no such tihng as a modified form of cellulose, but the word you are looking for is probably chitin, another organic molecule which is very similar to cellulose. Chitin is the second most abundant organic molecule on earth, second only to cellulose.
What form do plants store their carbohydrates?
starch & cellulose
What is a fibrous form of carbohydrate that cannot be ingested?
Cellulose
What is tylose powder made of?
Methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MHEC) or Methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose (MHPC). This is a modified form of cellulose, which is naturally present in plants. When methyl groups and hydroxy groups are added to cellulose, the cellulose becomes easier to dissolve in water and from a gel.
Is a cellulose a chemical?
Yes. It is a polysaccharide (polymer of sugars) created by plants to form their cell walls.
What holds cellulose molecules together in bundles large enough to form fibers?
Hydrogen bonds hold cellulose molecules together in bundles large enough to form fibers..
What chemical reaction forms cellulose?
Cellulose is the polymer of Glucose the polymerization of is through DEHYDRATION reaction among Glucose molecules.
What are carbohydrates stored in plants in form of?
Largely cellulose and starch.
What forms of polysaccharides form best strength of structure?
cellulose
