Cellulose Molecules Made Microfibrils Describe Structure Fiber Consist

Front Describe the structure of a cellulose fiber.
Back Cellulose fibers:
  • They consist of macrofibrils of cellulose which are made up of many microfibrils
  • Microfibrils contain about 80 cellulose molecules
  • Cellulose molecules have hydrogen bonds between them because they are parallel
  • Cellulose molecules themselves are made up of beta glucose monomers
