Detailed explanation-1: -In the cell walls of higher plants, the tensile fibers are made from the polysaccharide cellulose, the most abundant organic macromolecule on Earth, tightly linked into a network by cross-linking glycans.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose, a fibrous carbohydrate found in all plants, is the structural component of plant cell walls.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main sources of cellulose for industrial processes are wood and cotton [22]. Cellulose is the main component of paper, cardboard, and textiles made of cotton, flax, or other plant fibers. It is also used for the production of fibers, films, and cellulose derivatives.
