Makes up the plants cell wall and is fiber in our diets
A
Starch
B
Glycogen
C
Cellulose
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, the cell wall is composed mainly of strong fibers of the carbohydrate polymer called cellulose. The cell wall’s primary function is to provide a framework for the cell to prevent overgrowth. Cellulose fibers, structural proteins, and other polysaccharides help to maintain the shape and form of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose is a fiber found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods as part of a plant’s cell walls.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -Typical components of the cell wall include cellulose, non-cellulosic, and pectic polysaccharides, proteins, phenolic compounds, and water.
