β Linkages Are Important in Structural Polysaccharides Because

β Linkages are important in structural polysaccharides because:

A) They are easily hydrolyzed by glycosidase enzymes.
B) They allow the chains to form compact coils.
C) They cause the chains to exist in an extended form, thus allowing them to form fibers.
D) They cause the chains to absorb more water.
E) They can be formed by any hydroxy group in the monomer, whereas a linkages can be formed only by C-1.
