Question

Which of the following best explains how the structures of chitin and cellulose make them hard to digest? They both have branching chains of glucose molecules, but cellulose can be digested and chitin cannot. They both have an alternating arrangement of glucose molecules, but only chitin has the ability to store glucose. They both have branching chains of glucose molecules, but only cellulose provides structure and support to the organism. They both have an alternating arrangement of glucose molecules, but cellulose has hydrogen bonds while chitin has amino group bonds

Answer 1

Which of the following best explains how the structures of chitin and cellulose make them hard to digest?

They both have branching chains of glucose molecules, but cellulose can be digested and chitin cannot.

They both have an alternating arrangement of glucose molecules, but only chitin has the ability to store glucose.

They both have branching chains of glucose molecules, but only cellulose provides structure and support to the organism.

They both have an alternating arrangement of glucose molecules, but cellulose has hydrogen bonds while chitin has amino group bonds

Answer 2

@genius12 could you help?..

Answer 3

Chitin and cellulose can both not be digested, so A is false
They have an alternating arangement of glucose molecules so A and C are false.
It is true that cellulose has hydrogen bonda and chitin has aminogroup bonds.
Chitin = \(\large\sf (C_8H_{13}O_5N)_n\)
cellulose = \(\large\sf (C_6H_{10}O_5)_n\)

Answer 4

How chitin has aminogroup bonds and cellulose has hydrogen bonds...?when chitin is the component of cellulose..@thomaster
