Question

Which of the following options is correct?

All of the following are chemically modified carbohydrates except
a. galactosamine.
b. cellulose.
c. glucosamine.
d. chitin.
e. glucuronic acid.

Answer 1

b. cellulose.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of a long chain of repeating glucose units (i.e., β-D-glucose units) that produce long unbranched chains. Cellulose can be considered as a natural polymer (i.e., a non-modified carbohydrate) because it is composed of repeated chains of β-D-glucose molecules stuck together. The cellulose polysaccharide is a principal component of plant cell walls.
