In which column are the statements-correctly applied to cellulose and sucrose?
Correct answer: D. Option D
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
The question requires identifying how cellulose and sucrose are correctly characterized. Both are non-reducing sugars, due to the types of glycosidic bonds they possess. Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds, providing structural support in plants. Sucrose, on the other hand, is a disaccharide formed from glucose and fructose with an α-1,β-2-glycosidic bond. Option D correctly captures these differences and similarities, while the other options either lack specificity or provide incorrect groupings.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
