It's ability to dissolve instantly in water allows for fast energy transport.
It's hydrophobic "tails" prevent water from entering the plant cells.
Its long, sturdy chains of alucose provide rigid structural support for cell walls.

Answer 1

5. Stays the same. (Atoms are conserved in chemical reactions.)

6. Its long, sturdy chains of glucose provide rigid structural support for cell walls. (Cellulose is made of β‑linked glucose chains that form straight fibers and hydrogen‑bond into strong bundles, giving plants rigidity.)
