In terms of structural materials, _______ is to plants what _______ is to lobsters and crabs.
a. chitin; starch
b. cellulose; chitin
c. glycogen; cellulose
d. monosaccharides; polysaccharides
e. starch; glycogen

Respuesta :

The correct answer is b. In terms of structural materials, cellulose is to plants what chitin is to lobsters and crabs. Cellulose is a structural component of the primary cell wall of the plants and it consists of long chain linked glucose units. Chitin is also made of glucose (polymer of N-acetylglucosamine). Chitin is a component of the exoskeletons of arthropods, like lobsters and crabs.

We have that the  structural materials of  plants and lobsters is mathematically given as

  • cellulose; chitin
  • Option B

From the question we are told

  • In terms of structural materials,
  • _______ is to plants
  • what _______ is to lobsters and crabs.

Structure

Generally  glucose forms the main part of  Chitin, Chitin is a

The major cell wall of the plant are made up of cellulose and it consists of lengthy chain linked glucose units.

So in essence the both serve as bone skeleton to each other

Hence

  • cellulose; chitin
  • Option B
