A.
To find: How many carbon atoms are there in the book.
Concept introduction:
Polysaccharides are
B.
To find: How many carbon atoms in cellulose would be stacked on top of each other to span the thickness of the page.
Concept introduction:
Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate molecules that are composed of long chains of monosaccharide subunits linked together by glyosidic linkages. These polysaccharides, upon hydrolysis, dissociate into respective monosaccharides or oligosaccharides. Cellulose is a type of polysaccharide that is an abundant organic polymer on earth. It is made up of D-glucose monomeric subunits linked together by β (1→4) bonds.
C.
To determine: How many carbon atoms of
