Cellulose is major structural material of cell wall of:
A
Animals
B
Plants
C
Bacteria
D
Insects
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cellulose molecules provide tensile strength to the primary cell wall. Each molecule consists of a linear chain of at least 500 glucose residues that are covalently linked to one another to form a ribbonlike structure, which is stabilized by hydrogen bonds within the chain (Figure 19-70).

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: -Explanation: Cellulose is a major component of cell wall of Pythium.
