Correct Answer: Glucose


Solution : The correct option is Glucose.

Cellulose is a polymer made up of repeated glucose units joined by 1, 4 glycosidic linkages. These glucose molecules are positioned in a way that allows them to create long, linear chains. Cellulose is essential for plant growth and structural integrity. It enables plants to stand erect, withstand mechanical forces, and protect their cells from outside pressures. The ability of cellulose to create strong, interconnected networks in the cell wall distinguishes plant cells from animal cells, which lack a stiff cell wall.
