what type of glycosidic linkages are found in the polysaccharide cellulose
Cellulose is mostly linear chains of glucose molecules linked together by beta 1,4 glycosidic bonds whereas starch is found in both linear and branched chains. The orientation of the glycosidic linkages in cellulose makes the glucose rings to be arranged in a flip flop fashion which contributes to the rigidity.ellulose is mostly linear chains of glucose molecules linked together by beta 1,4 glycosidic bonds whereas starch is found in both linear and branched chains.
