  • Starch
  • Cellulose
  • Beta glucose
  • Glycogen

Question 23

Question
Starch is formed in a condensation reaction and is linked by glycosidic bonds. True or False?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 24

Question
Cellulose is strong due to the individual strength of each hydrogen bond within it. True or False?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 25

Question
How is starch suited for energy storage?
Answer
  • Starch is insoluble therefore it doesn't diffuse out of cells or draw water into cells
  • Starch is compact so a lot can be stored in a small space
  • When hydrolysed, starch forms alpha glucose which is easily transported and readily used in respiration
  • Starch is insoluble so is able to diffuse out of cells, and draw water into cells
  • Starch can't be hydrolysed
  • Starch is compact so not a lot can be stored in a large space

Question 26

Question
Cellulose is a major component of cell walls, providing rigidity and therefore preventing the cell bursting via osmosis. How?
Answer
  • Cellulose exerts an outward pressure on the cell wall which prevents any further influx of water
  • Cellulose exerts an inward pressure on the cell wall which prevents any further influx of water

Question 27

Question
Glycogen is insoluble. Is this an advantage or disadvantage?
Answer
  • An Advantage
  • A Disadvantage

Question 28

Question
Due to cellulose, cell walls in plant cells are so rigid and turgid that they push against one another, making harbaceous plants...
Answer
  • ...semi rigid maintaining its turgid state. This provides maximum surface area for photosynthesis
  • ...fully rigid maintaining its turgid state. This provides maximum surface area for photosynthesis
