Cell wall is made up of cellulose component
Explanation:
- Cell wall composition varies depending on the organism. In plants, the cell wall is composed mainly of strong fibers of the carbohydrate polymer cellulose.
- Cellulose is the major component of cotton fiber and wood, and it is used in paper production. Cellulose is a specialized sugar that is classified as a structural carbohydrate and not used for energy.
- If a plant cell is like a water balloon, the cell wall is like a cardboard box that protects the balloon. The cell was first discovered and named by Robert Hooke in 1665.
- He remarked that it looked strangely similar to cellula or small rooms which monks inhabited, thus deriving the name. However what Hooke actually saw was the dead cell walls of plant cells (cork) as it appeared under the microscope.
