    True

    Explanation:

    Cellulose is found throughout the cell walls of plant cells.

    Every cell is surrounded by a cell membrane. Cell wall encloses the cell with the cell membrane. Cell wall is the structure which is supposed to protect the cell.

    Cell wall in plants is made up of cellulose. Cellulose is a specific sugar which does not dissolve in water. This allows cellulose in cell wall to form long chains which is called polymers. Cellulose polymers are present throughout the cell wall of the plants.

    Cellulose cell wall protects the plant from outside attacks from harmful microbes.

    Cellulose cannot be digested or broken down to produce energy. Only herbivores have special bacteria which can help in digestion of cellulose.  

    Cellulose makes cell walls rigid.

    Cellulose does not dissolve in water like other sugars. It is not easily broken down. Hence, cell wall made up of cellulose have more strength.

    The cellulose cell wall is not bent; it is rigid.

    Rigid cell wall gives support to the plant cell and keep the plant erect.

    Plant cell wall is made up of three layers.

    Every plant cell consists of two layers. The third and the innermost layer is not mandatory for each plant cell.

    The outermost layer is the middle lamella. This is made up of pectin. Pectin help in binding the cell wall of two adjacent cells.

    The middle layer is the primary cell wall.

    This is made up of cellulose. This layer provides mechanical strength and flexibility which permits growth of the cell.

    The secondary cell wall lies between the primary cell wall and the plasma membrane.

    Once the primary cell wall stops growing, it may continue and form the secondary cell wall. This is a rigid layer and provides support to the cell.

    Lignin is also present in the secondary cell wall along with cellulose.

    Because it forms beta arrangements subsecuently forming microfibrils

    Explanation:

    Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate formed by a long polysaccharide of glucose molecules with beta arrangements, these give a flat and rigid structure that held to each other through hydrogen bonds forming microfibrils that give their rigidity to the cell walls (you can see this structure in the image added).

    I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

    The correct answer is -  carbohydrate.

    Explanation:

    Cellulose is a structural component of the plants and the most found material of the earth. Cellulose is a straight link chain of the polysaccharides made up of the glucose molecules joined together by the β 1, 4 glycosidic bonds.

    The glycosidic bond gives these carbohydrates a rigid and flat structure that makes cell walls of the plant rigid and act as structural components. These stack one upon another as they are flat and form hydrogen bond that provides extra rigidity to these components.

    Thus, the correct answer is option - carbohydrate.

    Yes cellulose is found in cell walls 

    Hope that helps

    As you stated before, cellulose is found throughout the cell walls of plant cells. Cellulose makes cell walls rigid, so that would indicate that cellulose is a carbohydrate.

    Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate that is a structural component of the plant cell.

    Explanation:

    Carbohydrate is a carbohydrate or polysaccharide which is the main component found in plant cell walls. Cellulose helps the plant to remain rigid and strong.

    Cellulose is a linear or straight chain of a few hundred to many thousands of β linked D-glucose units. Cellulose makes up about 33% of all vegetable matter and is the most available of all naturally occurring organic compounds.

    Thus, the correct answer is cellulose is a complex carbohydrate.
