Plant Cell Walls: Cellulose
Cellulose is a polysaccharide that surrounds plant cells, forming the cell wall. The above video mentioned several important functions of the cell wall such as protection, structural support, as well as acting as a selective gatekeeper for what is allowed in and out of the plant cell.
The cell wall consists of three components: middle lamella, primary, and secondary cell walls. The secondary cell wall is primarily composed of cellulose.
