Tough fibrous component of many plants like celery
A
Cellulose
B
Lactose
C
Fructose
D
Glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Celery, in particular, is very high in cellulose. If you have ever gotten stringy pieces from celery stuck between your teeth, then you have felt cellulose in action ( 4 ). Cellulose is also a common food additive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Celery stalks are rich in cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in the cell wall of plants that is edible but indigestible to humans. Given celery’s high water content, you may wonder if it’s worth eating at all. Luckily, celery provides several micronutrients, making it a valuable addition to any meal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Summary. The plant cell wall is central to plant development. 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-4: -Wood, paper, and cotton all contain cellulose. Cellulose is a white fibrous substance with no flavor and odor, insoluble in water and organic solvents. It is the main ingredient of plant cell walls.
