Cellulose

• Cellulose is made of beta glucose monomers
• Cellulose only contains 1-4 glycosidic bonds
• Cellulose provides structural strength to cell walls
• Cellulose polymers form long, straight chains held in parallel by many hydrogen bonds to form fibrils
• Cellulose' many hydrogen bonds provide collective strength
• Cellulose is insoluble so won't affect the water potential of cells
• Cellulose if found in the cell walls of plants
