What type of glycosidic linkages are present in cellulose?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Cellulose is a straight-chain polysaccharide composed entirely of -D-glucose units.

These glucose units are joined together by glycosidic bonds between the C-1 of one glucose unit and the C-4 of the next glucose unit.

Since the glucose units are in the -anomeric form, the linkage is a -glycosidic linkage.
