Question

5. True / False All polysaccharides are formed by glycosidic bonds between the anomeric carbon (C1) of one monosaccharide and C4 of another monosaccharide. 6. In general, branched polysaccharides are more fiber-like / amorphous (circle one) structures that as a result hold more / less water (circle one). 7. True/False Homopolymers consist only of glucose as repeating units of monomers linked together via B-1,4-glycosidic bonds. 8. In cellulose, glucose groups are linked together by 1,4 bonds in the orientation. orientatioulose, &

Answer 1

(5) True.All polysaccharide are formed by glycosidic bonds between the anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide and C4 of another monosaccharide.

6) In general, branched polysaccharides are more amorphous structure that results hold less water .for example starch and glycogen.

7) Homopolymers consists only of glucose as repeating unit of monomers linked together via beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds .for example cellulose in which only glucose group present and they linked by beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds.

8) In cellulose, glucose group are linked together by beta-1,4- glycosidic bonds in the structural orientation.
