Cellulose as polymer of
glucoseCellulose (C6H10O5)n is a
long-chain polymeric
polysaccharide carbohydrate, of beta-
glucose. It forms the primary structural component of green
plants.
Full article >>>Cellulose is a common material in
plant cell walls and was first noted as such in 1838. It occurs naturally in almost pure form only in cotton fibre; in combination with lignin and any hemi
cellulose, it is found in all
plant material.
Full article >>>Cellulose is probably the single most abundant
organic
molecule in the
biosphere. It is the major structural material of which
plants are made. Wood is largely
cellulose while cotton and paper are almost pure
cellulose.

Chitin are
polysaccharides that function to support and protect the
organism. The
cell walls of
plants are composed of
cellulose. The
cell walls of
fungi and the
exoskeleton of arthropods are composed of
chitin.
