The chains are placed parallel to each other to form microfibrils. In cellulose chains, each alternate glucose molecule is inverted.Cellulose is composed of unbranched chains of glucose molecules linked via beta 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
Cellulose is an important structural polysaccharide found in plants.Long, straight, unbranched chains forming H- bonds with the adjacent chainsĪmylose is soluble in water, and amylopectin is insoluble in waterĬontains glucose residues as 1-6, otherwise1-4bondsĬonstitutes their residues of glucose as glycosidic bonds with 1-4 To store energy in the form of carbohydratesĬoiled and unbranched (amylose) or long, branched (amylopectin) Takes up 500 glucose molecules to form one starch molecule Uses about 200-1000 glucose molecules to form one starch molecule
