Name the polysaccharide which represents the polymeric structure of `beta`-D glucose units.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to identify the polysaccharide that is made up of polymeric structures of beta-D glucose units. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the structure of beta-D glucose - Beta-D glucose is a monosaccharide, which means it is a simple sugar. It has a specific configuration that distinguishes it from its alpha form. ### Step 2: Identify polysaccharides made from beta-D glucose - Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharide units linked together. We need to find a polysaccharide that specifically uses beta-D glucose as its building block. ...
