BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose, a fibrous carbohydrate found in all plants, is the structural component of plant cell walls.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose is the most abundant carbohydrate in nature. It provides structural integrity to plant cell walls. The basic unit is 1, 4 linkage, straight chain, nonbranching (Figure 3.3). Cellulose is highly stable.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is a major component of plant cell walls, and is the world’s most abundant biopolymer. Cellulose contains apparently simple linear chains of glucose residues, but these chains aggregate to form immensely strong microfibrils.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellulose is an example of a Carbohydrate as it is made of polysaccharides.
