Formation of Cellulose
First review @September 10, 2023
Cellulose is formed of many beta glucose molecules joined together
Beta glucose molecules don’t join together in the same way that alpha glucose molecules
join together. This is because the hydroxyl groups attached to carbon 1 and 4 are too far
away from each other
to solve this, alternate beta glucose molecules are turned upside down
Each cellulose molecule forms hydrogen bonds with each other to form microfibrils. the
micro fibrils then join together to form microfibrils, which join together to form fibres
the fibres formed are strong and insoluble, and they’re used for plant cell walls
because of this property
