Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide composed of D-glucose units which are joined by b-glycosidic linkages between C-1 of one glucose unit and C-4 of the next glucose unit.

Q. Cellulose upon acetylation with excess acetic anhydride/ $H_{2} S O_{4}$ (catalytic) gives cellulose triacetate whose structure is

Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide composed of $D$ -glucose units which are joined by $b$ -glycosidic linkages between $C - 1$ of one glucose unit and $C - 4$ of the next glucose unit.
