BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells are surrounded by cell walls built largely from complex carbohydrates. The primary walls of growing plant cells consist of interdependent networks of three polysaccharide classes: cellulose, cross-linking glycans (also known as hemicelluloses), and pectins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose, a fibrous carbohydrate found in all plants, is the structural component of plant cell walls. Because the earth is covered with vegetation, cellulose is the most abundant of all carbohydrates, accounting for over 50% of all the carbon found in the vegetable kingdom.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Cellulose, as is starch, is a carbohydrate. It is a structural polysaccharide, while starch is one of the storage polysaccharides. In terms of quantity, cellulose is the most represented polymer on Earth and is the main support for trees and other plants (cotton, flax, jute, sugarcane, cereals, etc.).
