Which of the following molecules link together to form starch?
Glucose Glucose units come together to form large cellulose and starch molecules.
What chemical reaction forms cellulose?
Cellulose is the polymer of Glucose the polymerization of is through DEHYDRATION reaction among Glucose molecules.
What are the names of the 4 polysaccharides?
The Four Names of polysaccharides are: Starch Glycogen Cellulose Chitin Their formation is: Starch: form of glucose in plants Glycogen:animal energy storage form of glucose Cellulose: glucose molecules are linked together Chitin:glucose molecules linked in the same way they are linked in cellulose The four polysaccharides are, 1.)starch 2.)dextrin 3.)glycogen 4.)cellulose
How does the structure of cellulose relates to the molecules function?
Cellulose has beta C1-C4 bonds between the glucose molecules - i.e. carbon 1 of 1 molecule bonds to carbon 4 of another. Animals don't produce the enzymes to break down cellulose but cows, rabbits etc. can only break it down due to symbiotic bacteria in their intestinal tract which possess the required enzymes to breakdown cellulose. In plants, cellulose is a strong supporting material because hydroxyl groups project out from each chain, forming hydrogen bonds with neighbouring chains - creating a rigid cross-linking between the chains. It is fully permeable to water and solutes which means it can allow them to move in and out of cells.
Where did cellulose come from?
Celluose is formed from multiple glucose molecules bonding together through dehydration synthesis. Celluose is one of three major polysaccharide molecules within the starch family.
What holds cellulose molecules together in bundles large enough to form fibers?

How are carbohydrates used in plants?
to convert water and carbon dioxide from the environment into glucose and oxygen
What type of carbohydrates give plants their structure?
Cellulose is the carbohydrate that plants use to form their cell walls.
What are the tiny living structure's that form all living things?
molecules
What is the main structure of protein molecules?
amino acids form protein.
