Cellulose is used to prepare
A) Rayon
B) Nylon
C) Acrylic
D) None of these

Explanation

Solution

Cellulose is a molecule, consisting of hundreds and sometimes even thousands of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Cellulose is the main substance in the walls of plant cells, helping plants to remain stiff and upright. Humans cannot digest cellulose, but it is important in the diet as fiber.

Complete answer:
Cellulose is a natural long chain polymer that plays an important role in the human food cycle indirectly. This polymer has versatile uses in many industries such as veterinary foods, wood and paper, fibers and clothes, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as excipient. Several types of cellulose are known. The forms are distinguished according to the location of hydrogen bonds between and within strands.
Cellulose is used to prepare Rayon. Cellulose is used mainly in paperboard and paper production. Smaller amounts are converted into a wide variety of derivatives, such as cellophane and rayon. Smaller quantities are converted into a wide variety of derivative products such as cellophane and rayon. Conversion of cellulose from energy crops into biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol is under development as a renewable fuel source.
Therefore, option (A) is correct.

Note:
Cellulose has no taste, is odorless, is hydrophilic with the contact angle of 203020 - {30^ \circ } degrees, is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, is chiral and is biodegradable. It was shown to melt at 267C{267^ \circ }C in a pulse test. It can be broken down chemically into its glucose units by treating it with concentrated mineral acids at high temperature.
