Cellulose is a condensation polymer that has a long polymer made from glucose, the major product of photosynthesis in plants. So it will be a good material to build petrochemical. :)

What would happen to a plant's ability to produce cellulose if the plant had no water Why?

If a plant has no water, its ability to produce cellulose would be severely compromised. Water is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants generate energy and build carbohydrates, including cellulose. Without sufficient water, the plant experiences stress, which can lead to reduced metabolic activity and stunted growth, ultimately hindering cellulose synthesis. In extreme cases, prolonged water deficiency can cause cell death and the plant's inability to maintain its structure.


What is a cellulosic feedstock?

"Cellulosic" means that the material contains cellulose. Cellulose is found in wood, paper, grass and other plant matter. If it is used as a starting point for producing something, such as ethanol, that would make it a feedstock.


Is cellulose and amino acids proper paring for a polymer and its monomer?

No, cellulose is not a monomer for amino acids to form a polymer. Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomers, while amino acids are the monomers of proteins, which are formed by peptide bonds. The proper pairing for cellulose would be glucose monomers, while amino acids would pair to form proteins.


What is the polysaccharides in the cell walls of plants?

A common polysaccharide found in plants would be starch. Starch is made up of roughly 20% amylose and 80% amylopectin which both have a very similar structure except amylopectin is made up of much larger molecules. It is the energy storage system like batteries. Another very common polysaccharide is cellulose. This is the main structural material. All of these molecules are made up of glucose molecules bonded together. In starch the bonds are alpha while in cellulose beta. This sort of means right handed for starch and left handed for cellulose.


Which chemicals would be the best indicator that the unknown substance is a plant?

Chlorophyll, cellulose, and starch would be good indicators that the unknown substance is a plant. Chlorophyll is the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis, while cellulose is a structural component of plant cells. Starch is a carbohydrate that plants use to store energy.

How does cellulose fermentation contribute to the breakdown of plant material in the digestive systems of certain animals?

Cellulose fermentation is a process in which cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls, is broken down by microorganisms in the digestive systems of certain animals. These microorganisms produce enzymes that can break down cellulose into simpler sugars that the animal can then digest and use for energy. This process allows animals, such as cows and termites, to extract nutrients from plant material that they would not be able to digest otherwise.
