Question

What type of polymer is glucose?

Answer 1

1. Carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules that are bonded together.
2. Polysaccharides are the form of carbohydrates that are made up of long-chain monosaccharides.
3. The branched polymer of Glucose is Glycogen.
4. There are about $30,000$ units of Glucose contained in Glycogen.
   
5. Animals can store this product therefore it is called animal starch.
6. The glycosidic linkage of glucose is found in Glycogen.
7. Another polymer of glucose is cellulose, which is an important component in the cell wall.
8. Cellulose is a straight-chain polymer consisting of $6000$ units of beta-D-Glucose.
