The correct answer is: **a) Glucose is not used to give structure to plants' cell walls while cellulose is.**

Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate (polysaccharide) made up of long chains of glucose molecules, and it provides structural support to plant cell walls. In contrast, glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that serves as an energy source for cells but does not provide structural function in plant cell walls.
