There are trillions of cells EVERYWHERE including blood cells, brain cells, and even skin cells !! I believe that multicellular organisms that are large need to have trillions of cells to be able to fill their whole body. For example , humans, Humans have one of the most complex cells, we humans are very big so thousands of cells would not be enough to contain our entire body. Even the word ' multicellular' meaning multiple cells gives people a hint that we are multicellular . In conclusion , trillions of cells are needed for multicellular organisms , without them we wouldn't be able to function properly.

Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Photosynthetic process

Explanation:

Cellulose, a tough, fibrous and water-insoluble polysaccharide in the cell walls of plants. It is the most abundant organic macromolecule on Earth and also the main component of a plants structure, conferring rigidity on the plants' cells.

Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharides arranged in fibrils which in turn make up the plant cell wall.

All plants are made up of polysaccharides, a very large sugar molecule made of hundreds or thousands of single sugar units (monosaccharide). Cellulose is composed of a long chain of at least 500 glucose molecules joined together by B-1,4- linkages.

Green plants create this simple sugar molecules (glucose) on their own through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the chemical combination or fixation of C02 and water by the utilization of energy from the absorption of visible light. This glucose produced is a building carbohydrate that combines with other sugars to form the plant structure (as they make up part of cellulose) and store energy.
