Question

question 17 of 30 the structure of cellulose is shown below. what monomer combines and forms cellulose? a. glucose b. adenine c. an amino acid d. a fatty acid

Explanation:

Cellulose is a polysaccharide, and polysaccharides are made by the polymerization of monosaccharide units. Glucose is a monosaccharide, and cellulose is formed by the linkage of many glucose units. Adenine is a nitrogenous base (part of nucleic acids), amino acids are monomers of proteins, and fatty acids are components of lipids (along with glycerol). So the monomer that forms cellulose is glucose.

Answer:

A. Glucose
