- Q: Compare And Contrast The Structure Of Collagen And Cellulose
The monomer of collagen is an amino acid whereas the monomer of cellulose is beta-glucose. The monomers in collagen are linked by peptide bonds whereas those of cellulose are beta (1,4)-glycosidic bonds. Collagen is an alpha helix polypeptide with a turn...

Comparison between Tendon and Ligament
Tendon | Ligament |
1. It is composed of only collagen fibres | It is composed of collagen fibres and some elastin fibres |
2. Fibres are seen as dense parallel bundles | Fibres are densely crowded but not arranged in parallel bundles |
3. Fibroblasts are seen in between fibre bundles | Fibroblasts are seen in between fibres |
4. Tendon joins muscle to bone | Ligament joins bone to bone |
