NEET Chemistry Carbohydrates MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about carbohydrates is correct?
Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide made of b-D-glucose units.
Glycogen is primarily found in plant cells and is less branched than amylopectin.
Oligosaccharides consist of more than ten monosaccharide units.
Monosaccharides can be further hydrolyzed into simpler carbohydrates.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Cellulose is indeed a straight chain polysaccharide composed only of b-D-glucose units, making option A correct. Glycogen is found in animals, not plants, and is more branched than amylopectin. Oligosaccharides yield two to ten monosaccharide units, not more than ten. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed further, as they are the simplest form of carbohydrates.
