CELLULOSE

• CELLULOSE MONOMER?

  beta glucose
• CELLULOSE BOND BETWEEN MONOMERS?

  1-4 glycosidic bonds
• CELLULOSE FUNCTION?

  structure strength for cell wall
• CELLULOSE LOCATION?

  plants - cell wall
• CELLULOSE STRUCTURE?

  polymer forms long, straight chains (held in parallel by many hydrogen bonds to form fibrils)
• CELLULOSE HOW STRUCTURE LEADS TO FUNCTION?

  • Many hydrogen bonds provide collective strength
  • Insoluble so won't affect water potential
