Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The image shows a β-1,4-glycosidic bond, which is characteristic of cellulose, since it links two glucose molecules in the β configuration. The only option that indicates a β-1,4-glycosidic bond is B, where the "a645" in the middle of the code indicates that two carbon atoms (C1 and C4) of adjacent glucose molecules are involved in the bond.
