Cellulose is a polysaccharide, specifically a complex carbohydrate composed of long chains of glucose units linked by β(1→4) glycosidic bonds. It serves as a structural component in the cell walls of plants, providing rigidity and strength. Unlike starch, which is also a polysaccharide, cellulose is not digestible by humans due to the lack of enzymes to break down its specific bonds.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the biomolecule that is formed when 3 or more monosaccharides are combined?
The biomolecule formed when 3 or more monosaccharides are combined is called a polysaccharide. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates and serve as storage molecules (such as starch and glycogen) or structural components (such as cellulose) in living organisms.
What biomolecule is preferred by cells as a source of energy to produce ATP?
This biomolecule is glucose.
What class of biomolecule are beeswax?
beeswax is a protein
Which biomolecule would you classify starch?
carbohydrates.
In wood strong chains of cellulose and lignin are aligned in rows and layers are held in place by hydrogen bonds?
Yes, cellulose and lignin are two key components of wood. Cellulose provides structural strength due to its long, aligned chains, while lignin acts as a kind of 'glue' to hold the layers of cellulose together. The hydrogen bonds between cellulose molecules help reinforce the overall structure of the wood.
Which biomolecule is cellulose in?
Carbohydrates

What biomolecule does wood have?
Wood is primarily composed of cellulose, a polysaccharide that serves as a structural component in plant cell walls. In addition to cellulose, wood contains lignin, which provides rigidity and resistance to decay, as well as hemicellulose and various extractives like resins and oils. These biomolecules work together to give wood its strength and durability.
What kind of bond is cellulose?
Cellulose is a polysaccharide made of repeating glucose units linked together by beta-1,4 glycosidic bonds.
What kind of molecule is formed when many disaccharide molecule's are combined?
cellulose
What biomolecule is in a cracker?
