<span>In this case, the nurse would believe that the patient was experiencing Tension pneumothorax. Tension pneumothorax is the build up of air over time in a pleura space. It is generally caused by a laceration in the lung which lets air pass into the pleura space but then get stuck there. It presents a pressure which makes ventilation difficult, it cause the same effects as a one way valve.</span>

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The main structural component of plant cell walls is cellulose  which is a type of carbohydrate made up of a long chain of glucose molecules (a polysaccharide).

Explanation:

The plant cell walls are composed of cellulose, which is a structural carbohydrate made up of a long chain of glucose molecules (β linked D-glucose units). It is a polysaccharide like starch, but the starch molecule is flexible and the cellulose molecule is rigid. Each of these polysaccharide chains is connected together by hydrogen bonds. Microfibrils are formed by arranging some of these polysaccharide chains in parallel arrays. Due to the presence of hydrogen bonds, the microfibrils are extremely tough and inflexible. This property of cellulose provides strength and rigidity to the plant cell walls.
