Plant cells store glucose as a polysaccharide called?
The cell walls of plants can actually have two layers. The primary structure is a polysaccharide known as cellulose (which is actually not digestible when consumed by humans). Later in the plant's life a second cell wall can be developed using a molecule known as lignin which is quite rigid even after the plant has died.

What is the basic unit of cellulose?
basic unit of cellulose is glucose
Excess glucose in most complex plants is stored as?
They store glucose by converting them into cellulose which is also used to maintain the plants cells walls. Starch is stored in a plants stem, its roots and leaves. Plants store glucose as they are the main source of energy. The converted glucose either it's in the form of starch or cellulose can be used by some animals as it can be easily digested.
What is one of two monosaccharides made by plants?
Plants make different sugars including sucrose, dextrose and fructose.
Where can you find glucose?
In plants, starches, and cellulose.
What do plants store as food for us?
Plants store carbohydrates, such as starch and sugars, as food that we consume. These carbohydrates provide us with energy when we eat plants or plant-based products.
What is the most abundant form of carbohydrate?
Glucose is the simplest carbohydrate and so probably the most abundant. It is required by every living cell for energy.
How do plants store glucose that is to be used at a later time?
Plants use glucose in 5 ways: They store it as fats and oils (lipids) in plant seeds They use it to make cellulose to strengthen cell walls They use it to make amino acids for proteins They store it as starch They use it as a reactant of respiration
Why do plants use carbon?
To make glucose, and eventually cellulose.
Type of sugar that plants make?
Glucose, starch, and cellulose
What monomers plants use to make cellulose?
Plants use glucose monomers to make cellulose, which is a structural polysaccharide found in their cell walls. Glucose molecules are linked together in chains to form cellulose polymers through dehydration synthesis reactions.
Cellulose is the main component of what?
Glucose .
Why can the complex cellulose store more energy than the sugar glucose?
Cellulose has more chemical bonds.
Why can sugar cellulose store more energy than the sugar glucose?
Cellulose has more chemical bonds.
Why can the complex sugar cellulose store energy than sugar glucose?
Cellulose has more chemical bonds.
