Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cell wall of plant is made of?
A
Lipids
B
Cellulose
C
Glycocalyx
D
Chitin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. In secondary cell walls, lignin may be deposited.

Detailed explanation-2: -The plant cell wall is made up of cellulose which is a complex substance and provides structural strength to the plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of a linear chain of -1, 4 linked d-glucose units with a degree of polymerization ranged from several hundreds to over ten thousands, which is the most abundant organic polymer on the earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is the most significant structural component of plant cell wall. Cellulose, polysaccharide containing repeated unbranched (1-4) D-glucose units, is synthesized at the plasma membrane by the cellulose synthase complex (CSC) from bacteria to plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hydrilla, Mango tree, and cactus are plants hence their cell wall is made up of cellulose. The cell wall of Bacteria is made of polysaccharide called Peptidoglycan.
