Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The secondary cell wall provides plants with the mechanical properties that allow them to stand upright, and is a major component in properly functioning xylem vessels. Cellulose is highly abundant in the secondary cell wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Cellulose is a carbohydrate found in the cell wall of plants. The carbohydrate is a polysaccharide structure. Polysaccharide is made up of a long chain of several sugar units bonded together by chemical linkage.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is present in the cell wall of all plant cells. Cellulose is also present in the cell wall of other organisms like bacteria and algae. The purest form of cellulose is cotton, that contains around 98% cellulose. Besides, cellulose is also present in wood obtained from the trees.
