Its structure, characterized by beta-1,4 glycosidic linkages between glucose monomers, allows the chains to form strong, rigid structures through hydrogen bonding between adjacent chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This specific molecular arrangement is what gives cellulose its remarkable strength and insolubility. This makes it ideal for its primary function in plants: providing structural support. Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth and is the chief component of the cell walls of plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cellulose is A) a polymer composed of fructose monomers B) a storage polysaccharide for energy in plant cells C) used by plants to make glycogen D) a major structural component of plant cell walls E) a monomer of starch The correct answer and explanation is: The correct answer is D) a major structural component of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-quiz-questions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15787"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15787\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15788,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15787\/revisions\/15788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
