Question

Cellulose, chitin, and peptidoglycan function as structural molecules and withstand pulling and pushing forces well. which structural feature is most directly responsible

Answer 1

Cellulose, chitin, and peptidoglycan are all considered as carbohydrates. Now in the molecular level of these carbohydrates, structural polysaccharides exist as sets of long, parallel strands that are linked to one another. Due to this arrangement, pulling and pushing forces are being withstand.
