Complete hydrolysis of cellulose gives

Question

Complete hydrolysis of cellulose gives (A) D-ribose (B) D-glucose (C) L-glucose (D) D-fructose

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide composed of D-glucose units which are joined by β-glycosidic linkages. Hence, cellulose on hydrolysis produces only D-glucose units.

Q. Complete hydrolysis of cellulose gives

D-ribose

D-glucose

L-glucose

D-fructose

Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide composed of $D$ -glucose units which are joined by $β$ -glycosidic linkages.
Hence, cellulose on hydrolysis produces only D-glucose units.
