Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose is an organic compound belonging to the category of polysaccharides. It is a polymer made up of glucose subunits. It is found in bacterial and plant cells and is abundantly present in their cell walls. Cellulose plays an important role in the structure and strength of plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polysaccharides generally perform one of two functions: energy storage or structural support. Starch and glycogen are highly compact polymers that are used for energy storage. Cellulose and chitin are linear polymers that are used for structural support in plants and animals, respectively.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer, as it comprises the major structural component of the cell walls of lower and higher plants.
