Starch, cellulose, dextran, and glycogen are polysaccharides. How are they similar? To what are their different properties due? Why can't an enzyme that hydrolyzes starch degrade cellulose?

Ответ:
similarity
Starch, cellulose,dextran and glycogen are all polymers of glucose
differences
monomer/glucose glycosidic bond branching
1.starch α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branch and unbranced
amylose 1-4 unbranched
amylopectin 1-4 and 1-6 branched
2. dextran α glucose 1-6 branched
3. cellulose β glucose 1-4 unbranched, linear
4. glycogen α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branched (shorter
branches than starch)
Enzyme: amlase acts on starch and cellulase acts on cellulose as they are specific for their substrates.
Explanation:
Starch: Consists of both branched amylopectin and unbranched amylose
Enzymes: Enzymes are specific as the gulcose molecule in starch is α and in cellulose is β which differ in their position of hydroxyl groups at anomeric carbon, their structures differ so they form different bonds. Active sites of enzymes can act only on specific bonds a sthey can fit to their specific substrates.
