Cellulose molecule stores more energy than glucose molecule as one cellulose molecule is made up of thousands of glucose molecules.
Explanation:
Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate, a polysaccharide . It is composed of thousands molecules of glucose.
Glucose is simple sugar , a monosaccharide .
It is thus evident that a single cellulose molecule will store much more energy as it stores energy equal to that stored in thousands glucose molecules.
