The hydrolytic digestion of which of the following should produce monomers that are aminated (i.e., have an amine group attached)molecules of β-glucose?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insect exoskeletons are made of chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, which is a derivative of glucose with an amine group. Fungal cell walls also contain chitin. Plant cell walls are primarily composed of cellulose, a polymer of β-glucose without amine groups. Therefore, the correct answers are insect exoskeletons and fungal cell walls, which both contain aminated molecules of β-glucose.
