Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following correctly pairs a biomolecule to its function?
A
Enzyme:makes cell membrane’s phospholipid bilayer
B
Cellulose:makes the cell walls of all plant cells
C
Cholesterol:Stores genetic information
D
Glucose:Increase the rate of a reaction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option of biomolecules matched with its respective function is: B) Cellulose: forms the cell walls of all the plant cells. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, which is made up of D-glucose units. It is the characteristic features of plant cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the cell walls of higher plants, the tensile fibers are made from the polysaccharide cellulose, the most abundant organic macromolecule on Earth, tightly linked into a network by cross-linking glycans.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural biopolymers. The cell walls of plants are mostly made of cellulose, which provides structural support to the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is the primary structural component responsible for much of the mechanical strength of the cell wall. The distribution and orientation of cellulose microfibrils within the cell wall contribute to the control of cell growth.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellulose, a tough, fibrous, and water-insoluble polysaccharide, plays an integral role in keeping the structure of plant cell walls stable. Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharide that are arranged in fibrils (bundles of microfibrils), which in turn make up the plant cell wall.
