The video tutorial discusses the structure and function of polysaccharides, focusing on cellulose. It explains the role of cellulose in plant cell walls, its monomer composition, and the importance of beta linkages for stability. The tutorial also covers why cellulose is indigestible in humans, classifying it as dietary fiber, and provides an overview of the nomenclature and numbering system for glucose linkages.

How does hydrogen bonding contribute to the stability of cellulose?

What is the common term used to describe substances like cellulose that are indigestible by humans?

What is the difference in digestibility between cellulose and starch in humans?

What is the significance of the beta 1 to 4 linkage in cellulose?
