At its core, science is about inquiry, or the act of asking questions and seeking answers. Most labs begin as the result of a question, which is why the introduction of your lab report should include a question. For
example, suppose you notice that you seem to play basketball better at the court in one park than in
another. After conducting research, you realize that the surfaces of the courts you play on differ. As a
result, you might formulate the scientific question "What effect does the court surface have on the height
that the basketball bounces?" To answer this question scientifically, you could perform several
experiments and gather data.

Why do you suppose the structural polysaccharide cellulose does not contain branches? why do you suppose the structural polysaccharide cellulose does not contain branches? branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into globules, thereby decreasing the flexibility and strength of the globules. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into microfibrils, thereby increasing the rigidity and strength of the microfibrils. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into globules, thereby increasing the flexibility and strength of the globules. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into microfibrils, thereby decreasing the rigidity and strength of the microfibrils.
