Respuesta :

Answer:

b. cellulose.

Explanation:

Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of a long chain of repeating glucose units (i.e., β-D-glucose units) that produce long unbranched chains. Cellulose can be considered as a natural polymer (i.e., a non-modified carbohydrate) because it is composed of repeated chains of β-D-glucose molecules stuck together. The cellulose polysaccharide is a principal component of plant cell walls.
