How does the shape of cellulose make possible its function? Note the arrangement of individual
cellulose molecules and bonds as part of your answer and mention something about both
covalent and noncovalent bonds. If you really want to see the H bonds, right click on the jsmol
figure, choose "style" "hydrogen bonds" and then set their diameter to 30 Angstroms. You can
also choose "color" and make them some other color to make them easier to see!
Solution
Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on earth. It is a major component of tough cell
walls that surround plant cells, and is what makes plant stems, leaves, and branches so strong. Its
unique, rigid structure serves an important function in plants. Its molecules are joined together
using hydrogen bonds and are arranged parallel to one another, forming a long, cable-like
structure that merges with other cellulose molecules. This creates the strong support structure
that allows plants to stand upright.
