What is the correct description of this disaccharide? the alpha-anomer of two D-glucose units joined by an alpha(1 right arrow4) linkage The alpha-anomer of two D-galactose units joined by an (1 right arrow 4)linkage The beta-anomer of two D-galactose units joined by a beta(1 right arrow 4) linkage The beta-anomer of two D-galactose units joined by a beta(1 right arrow 4) linkage The alpha-anomer of two D-galactose units joined by an (1 right arrow 4)linkage Why can cellulose not serve as a food source for humans? What is the to be a helical structure and cellulose to be a rigid linear structure?

Explanation / Answer

The given structure is alpha- maltose, a disaccharide. Alpha- maltose is an alpha-anomer of two D-glucose units joined by an alpha-(1---->4) linkage. Hence (a) should be correct.
