A diagram of the plant cell wall shows long, unbranched chains of glucose. These chains are held together by which specific linkage?
Q1. A diagram of the plant cell wall shows long, unbranched chains of glucose. These chains are held together by which specific linkage?
Answer: Beta 1-4 glycosidic linkages
Explanation: Cellulose uses Beta 1-4 linkages which humans cannot digest. Alpha 1-4 is tempting as it is the linkage found in digestible starch.
