Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of long chains of glucose molecules linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. It belongs to the group of carbohydrates, specifically the category of complex carbohydrates or fibers. Cellulose is a primary structural component of plant cell walls, providing rigidity and strength. Other polysaccharides, such as starch and glycogen, are related but differ in structure and function.
