Plants have cell walls made of ____?
A
Cellulose
B
Paper
C
Chitin
D
Chloroplasts
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: -Plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose, which is the most abundant macromolecule on Earth. Cellulose fibers are long, linear polymers of hundreds of glucose molecules. These fibers aggregate into bundles of about 40, which are called microfibrils.

Detailed explanation-3: -The plant cell wall is made up of cellulose which is a complex substance and provides structural strength to the plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cell walls made of cellulose are only found around plant cells and a few other organisms. Cellulose is a specialized sugar that is classified as a structural carbohydrate and not used for energy.
