The diagams shows a ring structure of glucose. Which form of glucose is shown and in which molecule is it present?
Correct answer: B. Starch
- A. Cellulose
- B. Starch
- C. Glycogen
- D. Chitin
Explanation
Option B is correct. The given diagram shows an α-glucose ring structure, identifiable by the downward orientation of the hydroxyl (OH) group on the first carbon. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of numerous α-glucose units linked together. Option A is incorrect because cellulose consists of β-glucose, Option C is incorrect in this specific context as it refers to glycogen which is not the focus here, and Option D is incorrect because chitin is not made from glucose.
