Dehydration reactions only occur in nucleic acids and proteins, not in polysaccharides like those shown in the image.

When 10 glucose molecules combine to form a branched amylopectin segment, the molecular formula is C₆₀H₁₂₀O₆₀ due to addition of oxygen atoms at branch points.

In glycogen, α glycosidic bonds consume no water during polymerization, so the molecular formula of a 10-unit chain remains C₆₀H₁₂₀O₆₀.

The molecular formula of a polymer formed by linking 10 glucose units through 9 glycosidic bonds is C₆₀H₁₀₂O₅₁, and if these bonds are α glycosidic, the resulting polymer is cellulose with structural rigidity due to hydrogen bonding between parallel chains.

Cellulose and glycogen differ in molecular formula because cellulose has more glucose units per branch, altering the ratio of C:H:O.

The molecular formula of a polymer formed by linking 10 glucose units through 9 glycosidic bonds is C₆₀H₁₀₂O₅₁, and if these bonds are β glycosidic, the resulting polymer is cellulose with structural rigidity due to hydrogen bonding between parallel chains.
