Select all of the statements below that are true (this is a multi-select question). One important difference between cellulose and glycogen is that the cellulose has a(1→6) branches, which greatly increases the "connectiveness" within the structure. One important difference between cellulose and glycogen is that cellulose is a B(14) linked glucan, while glycogen is an a(1→4) linked glucan. The major cause of the functional difference is that glycogen is stored in the cytosol, whereas cellulose is a component of the cell walls. Cellulose is flexible due to the noncovalent interactions between the B(1-4) linked strands of glucose: the polymer can bend without breaking covalent bonds. Cellulose is more "stretchy" than glycogen, since its structure is held together only by the relatively weak hydrogen bonds.arrow_forward
