Chapter 3.4, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The conclusions that may be drawn about the abundance of cellulose on earth.
Introduction: Polysaccharides are composed of monosaccharide sugars. These sugars are linked together by glycosidic bonds. Polysaccharides are of two types: branched and non-branched based on the linking of their monomers. There are different polysaccharide molecules present, for example, glycogen is a disaccharide molecule composed of long chains of glucose monomers. Cellulose is a polysaccharide of β-D- glucose. Cellulose is an unbranched polysaccharide molecule.

Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas.
