Cellulose | MCQs

Explanation

• Cellulose is the main component of the cell wall in plant cells, providing strength, rigidity, and shape to the cell.
• It is a complex carbohydrate made up of glucose molecules. 
• It is responsible for maintaining the cell's structure and supporting its growth.

Explanation

The cell wall of oomycetes is made of cellulose. 

Oomycetes, also known as water molds, are distinct from true fungi in that their cell walls are composed primarily of cellulose and glucans, rather than chitin which is the primary component of fungal cell walls.

Explanation

Cotton is a natural fiber that contains a very high percentage of cellulose, typically around 95%.

Cellulose is a polysaccharide (a long chain of glucose molecules) that provides strength, structure, and durability to plant cell walls.

Cotton is one of the purest forms of cellulose, making it a valuable resource for textile production.

Explanation

Starch is a polysaccharide, a long chain of glucose molecules linked together through glycosidic bonds.

It is a complex carbohydrate that serves as a energy storage molecule in plants.

Explanation

• The cell wall is a thick, permeable layer that surrounds the plant cell.
• It provides support, protection, and shape.
• It is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin.
• It is responsible for maintaining the cell's rigidity and structure.
