Cellulose is a type of organic carbohydrate, specifically a polysaccharide, that is composed of long chains of glucose molecules linked together by β(1→4) glycosidic bonds. It is a major component of the cell wall in plants, providing structural support and rigidity. Cellulose is not digestible by humans because we lack the necessary enzymes to break down its β-glycosidic bonds, but it plays an important role as dietary fiber in our diets. In addition to plants, cellulose is also found in some algae and bacteria.
