The question of how long you can go without food depends on a lot of factors. Will and determination definitely play a part. Political prisoners on hunger strikes and fasting religious leaders have been known to go for weeks at a time without any food. Gandhi fasted for 21 days while in his 70s. People lost in the wild have also survived for long periods of time without eating. Medically speaking, most doctors agree that healthy humans can go up to eight weeks without food as long as they have water.
Cellulose is mostly linear chains of glucose molecules linked together by beta 1,4 glycosidic bonds whereas starch is found in both linear and branched chains. The orientation of the glycosidic linkages in cellulose makes the glucose rings to be arranged in a flip flop fashion which contributes to the rigidity.ellulose is mostly linear chains of glucose molecules linked together by beta 1,4 glycosidic bonds whereas starch is found in both linear and branched chains.

In amylopectin there are two types of glycosidic bonds: 1,4 and 1,6. The 1,4 links are the same as in amylose. In addition some glucose molecules have a glycosidic link from carbon atom number 6 to carbon atom number 1 in a new glucose molecule. This produces a branch point in the amylopectin molecule.oth, cellulose and starch, has a linear structure of glucose monomers connected by glyosidic bonds (1-4 glycosidic bond = Carbon atom number 1 linked with Carbon atom number â¦ 4 of the next glucose monomer's). The basic structural difference is whether the linkage is alpha or beta glycosidic bond.
