- Biochemical Architecture of Hemicellulose:
- Hemicelluloses are heterogeneous matrix polysaccharides consisting of branched heteropolymers.
- They comprise pentose sugars (D-xylose, L-arabinose), hexose sugars (D-mannose, D-galactose, D-glucose), and uronic acids (D-glucuronic acid, 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid, D-galacturonic acid) organized into xylans, mannans, and glucuronoxylans.
- In official evaluation, both Option 1 (uronic acids and pentoses) and Option 2 (uronic acids and hexoses) were accepted as valid constituents of hemicellulose.
- Conclusion: Both Option 1 and Option 2 were recognized as correct in official keys.
Correct option: (1) Uronic acids and pentoses; (2) Uronic acids and hexoses
