The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options are cellulose, we need to analyze each option based on the definition and characteristics of cellulose. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cellulose**: - Cellulose is a polysaccharide that is the main component of the cell wall in plants. It is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **(i) Paper**: - Paper is made from wood pulp, which is primarily composed of cellulose. Therefore, paper is cellulose. - **(ii) Cotton Fibre**: - Cotton fibers are also made up of cellulose. Cotton is a natural fiber that comes from the cotton plant, which contains a high percentage of cellulose. Thus, cotton fiber is cellulose. - **(iii) Chitin**: - Chitin is not cellulose. It is a polysaccharide made of N-acetylglucosamine units and is found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods. Therefore, chitin is not cellulose. - **(iv) Glycogen**: - Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals. It is made up of glucose units but is not cellulose. Therefore, glycogen is not cellulose. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only options that are cellulose are (i) Paper and (ii) Cotton Fibre. Thus, the correct answer is options (i) and (ii). ### Final Answer: The cellulose options are: (i) Paper and (ii) Cotton Fibre.
