Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of repeating units of glucose molecules linked together by β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. The chemical structure of cellulose can be represented as follows:
(-Glc-β1,4-Glc-β1,4-Glc-β1,4-Glc-β1,4-)_n
In this structure, "Glc" represents a glucose molecule and the subscript "n" indicates that the glucose units are repeated multiple times to form the cellulose polymer. The β-1,4 glycosidic bonds are formed between the C1 carbon of one glucose molecule and the C4 carbon of the adjacent glucose molecule.
