Explanation / Answer

D-glucose repeating units

form hydrogen bond between aadjacent polymer

cellulose chitin both

D-glucose repeating units

form hydrogen bond between aadjacent polymer

contains N acetyl amino acid derivative of glucose as the repeating monosaccharide contains only beta -1,4 glycosidic linkage most abundant found in exoskeleton of arthropods linear polymer, no branching
