12. Explain the cross linkage between the monomers in cellulose (Draw the structural components of cellulose). Provide an explanation explaining the reason why cellulose structure is so complex. Cellulose: 13. _____________ is a major structural material of which plants are made. 14. Cellulose is a _____________ molecule composed of __________ or more _____________ molecules strung together. 15. Every stick in this drawing of a polysaccharide chain represents a ____________________ between two carbon atoms. Click on the Link: From leaf to Starch: 16. ________ are insoluable in water and thus can serve as storage depots of glucose. Plants convert excess glucose into __________ for storage. 17. Draw a polymer of starch consisting entirely of glucose monomers: Starch: Lipids: Click on the link “from an iguana to phospholipids” 18. This cell membrane is constructed largely of _____________ (made of fats) arranged in a ________________. 19. Draw and label a phospholipid bilayer. Label which regions are hydrophobic and hydrophilic. (Use your notes) Phospholipid Bilayer:
