Question

Which component of a plant makes the cell walls around plant cells tough and allows branches, stems, and leaves to be strong

Answer 1

Answer;

Cellulose

Explanation;

• Cellulose is a polysaccharide and the most abundant organic compound on the Earth's surface.

• It  is an important organic molecule due to its strong structure which provides a wide variety of functions.
• Cellulose is a major component of tough cell walls that surround plant cells and is what makes plant stems, leaves, and branches very  strong.
• The molecules of cellulose are arranged such that they are parallel to each other joined by hydrogen bond. this arrangement forms long structures that combine with other cellulose molecules producing a strong support structure.
