Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose: It is the most copious organic polymer found on the planet. It is a polysaccharide formed of a linear chain of beta-1, 4 associated d-glucose units.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, the cellulose polymer is formed of glucose units that are connected in a unique way to make cellulose very resistant to breakdown.
Detailed explanation-3: -Paper is produced by pressing cellulose fibers into a thin sheet. Various sources of cellulose like jute, wood, grass, flax, bamboo, hemp, ramie, straw, or cotton (chromatography paper and filter), and many more have been used.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide on Earth. It can be obtained from a vast number of sources, e.g. cell walls of wood and plants, some species of bacteria, and algae, as well as tunicates, which are the only known cellulose-containing animals.
