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.
