okay so cellulose is made up of Beta Glucose monomers but i dont get why the whole microfibril has alternating OH groups? Are there 1-4 Glycosidic bonds or 1-6?

I hope this will help you. If there is any difficulty in understanding be curious to say it.

Yeah thanks i get that, but you know how it has up Oh groups and down OH groups- how come that happens?

I appreciate your efforts but im looking for something specific to hexose beta glucos in cellulose and theyre talking about 4 carbon molecules. Thanks anyways

I think it’s trying to say that the position of the OHs is a specific one and it’s important because if the structure of the hexose is changed it would become another molecule and not be a B-glucose molecule anymore. Therefore the cellulose would not be formed anymore by a B-glucose. But don’t take my word for it because I might be wrong or not answering your question anyways. Hope that helps.

the positioning of the each beta glucose in a microfibril is different to aplha glucos
