Question

Which of the following conclusion cannot be drawn upon performing biochemical analysis of a cotton thread?

• A. It is a polymer containing different types of monosaccharides as building blocks
• B. The bond between two successie monosaccharides is a glycosidic bond
• C. Both cellulose and cotton contain the similar type of monosaccharides in maximum amount
• D. This molecule does not contain complex helices

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both cellulose and cotton contain the similar type of monosaccharides in maximum amount

By performing biochemical analysis we can conclude that it is made of cellulose which is a long polymer of glucose which is a monosaccharide in naturally available species.

Cotton fiber is purely cellulose which is a carbohydrate.

It does not contain different types of monosaccharides.

So the correct answer is ' Both celluloselose and cotton contain the similar type of monosaccharides in maximum amounts'.
