STRUCTURE OF GLUCOSE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellulose ____ the cell wall and reinforces the structure, allowing the plant to grow tall without any support.
A
Weakens
B
Changes
C
Strengthens
D
None of the above
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 high tensile strength of cellulose fibers present in the plant cell wall is responsible for maintaining the shape and rigidity of plant cells. It is due to such strong cellulose fibers in the cell wall that plant cells do not burst like animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose, a tough, fibrous, and water-insoluble polysaccharide, plays an integral role in keeping the structure of plant cell walls stable. Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharide that are arranged in fibrils (bundles of microfibrils), which in turn make up the plant cell wall.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Cell Wall A cell wall is a rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell. The cell wall contains not only cellulose and protein, but other polysaccharides as well. The cell wall provides structural support and protection.
