It is the principal structural component of plant cell walls, making stems, leaves, and branches strong.
A
cellulose
B
starch
C
chitin
D
glycogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The cell wall is composed of a network of cellulose microfibrils and cross-linking glycans embedded in a highly cross-linked matrix of pectin polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -The key structural component of plant cell walls is cellulose. Cellulose is a long-chain polysaccharide made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plant cell wall is mainly composed of cellulose. Cellulose is a complex substance and provides structural strength to plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellulose molecules are arranged parallel to each other and are joined together with hydrogen bonds. This forms long, cable-like structures, which combine with other cellulose molecules and is what produces such a strong support structure.
