Cellulose is the primary structural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of plants. Which of the following is not a structural feature or property of cellulose?
It consists of unbranched, straight chains of β\betaβ-glucose units linked by β\betaβ-1,4-glycosidic bonds.
Successive glucose monomers are rotated by 180∘180^\circ180∘ relative to one another to permit the formation of a linear chain.
Adjacent parallel polymer chains are covalently cross-linked by ester bonds between C-6 hydroxyl groups to form microfibrils.
It is highly insoluble in water, ensuring the cell wall remains stable and does not alter the water potential of the plant cell.
