שאלה | Amylose and cellulose are both polymers of glucose but have very different physical and mechanical properties. Cellulose is mechanically strong and insoluble in water and many other solvents. Amylose starch is water soluble and mechanically weaker compared to cellulose. Of the following which is the best explanation for these properties: (Choose from the following 4 possibilities)

		In cellulose the glucose monomer is in α configuration but in amylose the connection between the monomers is a β glucose configuration.
		Differences in the cellulose chain configuration compares to amylose results in very different inter hydrogen bonding characteristics.
		Cellulose has a higher molecular weight than amylose hence more hydrogen bonding interactions between the chains.
		Cellulose is bound together by lignin which gives it different properties than amylose.
