Question
which describes the complex carbohydrate cellulose?
it is composed of a complex arrangement of glucose molecules.
it is composed of a complex arrangement of many kinds of macromolecules.
it is composed of a complex arrangement of chitin molecules.
it is composed of a complex arrangement of multiple disaccharides.
Cellulose is a polysaccharide (complex carbohydrate). Polysaccharides are made up of monosaccharide units. Glucose is a monosaccharide. Cellulose is composed of glucose units linked together in a complex arrangement. Chitin is a different polysaccharide (found in fungi cell walls and arthropod exoskeletons). Disaccharides are made of two monosaccharide units (e.g., sucrose is glucose + fructose). Macromolecules is a very broad term (proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides are all macromolecules), but cellulose specifically is made of glucose (a monosaccharide), not a complex arrangement of many kinds of macromolecules.
