Cellulose is an insoluble and dead substance.The cell wall of plant cells are made out of it.
Functions-
1.)It cannot by digested by the human digestive system,hence when we eat vegetables or fruits,the cellulose remains in its original condition and acts as a roughage in the digestive system.This helps us in the clearance of our bowels.TO avoid constipation,etc.
2.)It gives a  rigid shape to the plant cells and the membrane which allows all the substances to enter into the plant cell.
