Important to the structural integrity of plant cells, this is the single most popular polysaccharide in the world.
A
Starch
B
Glycogen
C
Cellulose
D
Chitin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose is the most essential structural component of plant cell walls and the most common macromolecule and organic substance on the Earth. Cellulose is made up of carbohydrates which is a polysaccharide structure. Polysaccharide is made up of long chains of many sugar molecules that are chemically linked together.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most abundant structural polysaccharide is cellulose. There is so much cellulose in the cell walls of plants that it is the most abundant of all biological molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose. The structural components of plants are formed primarily from cellulose. Wood is largely cellulose and lignin, while paper and cotton are nearly pure cellulose. Cellulose is a polymer made with repeated glucose units bonded together by beta-linkages.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is the main constituent of plant cell walls, so it is found in vegetables, fruits, cereals, and legumes; it coexists with hemicelluloses, pectin, and lignin. Cellulose is also the most abundant plant polysaccharide on earth, accounting for 15%–30% of the dry mass of all primary cell walls.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
