Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose. Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of linked glucose units. Cellulose is an important structural component of the cell walls of plants and many algae.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose, a fibrous carbohydrate found in all plants, is the structural component of plant cell walls. Because the earth is covered with vegetation, cellulose is the most abundant of all carbohydrates, accounting for over 50% of all the carbon found in the vegetable kingdom.

Detailed explanation-3: -Starch is a complex carbohydrate that is made by plants to store energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
