Cellulose polysaccharide
: of B-glucose with straight unbranched chains which run parallel
Hydrogen bonds form cross linkages between adjacent chains which add collective strength
Each alternate monomer rotated 1800 .
Good structural material
lellulose grouped to form micro fibrils , arranged in parallel groups of fibres

component of all walls :
provides ridgity and prevents the cell from bursting as water enters by
exerting inward pressure making all turgid ,
maintains stems and leafs ,
max surface area
