HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -The most important structural component of plant cell walls is cellulose. 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-2: -Cellulose, as is starch, is a carbohydrate. It is a structural polysaccharide, while starch is one of the storage polysaccharides. In terms of quantity, cellulose is the most represented polymer on Earth and is the main support for trees and other plants (cotton, flax, jute, sugarcane, cereals, etc.).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-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.
