The correct difference is: Glucose is not used to give structure to plants' cell walls while cellulose is.

Cellulose is a polysaccharide made up of long chains of glucose molecules and provides structural support to plant cell walls, while glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that serves primarily as an energy source.
