cellulose-it is the main constituent of plant


Cellulose:-

It is the main constituent of plant cell walls and  the most common and abundant of the D-glucose polymers. This does not occur in the animal body. It is a homopolymer =of glucose  like starch, except  the linkages  joining the glucose units are P(1+4)  rather than a(1+4).  Hence, cellulose is made up of P-glucose molecules linked by  P(1,4) glycosidic linkage.
