Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, which are carbohydrates.
Starch, glycogen, and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from a variety of different monosaccharides. Hemicelulose is made from glucose, xylose, mannose, galactose, rhamnose, and arabinose. Pectin is made from galacturonic acid and galacturonoglycan. Food gums can be made from rhamnose, arabinose, glucose, xylose, and galactose.
Nylon is a synthetic polymer formed from the condensation reaction of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. Starch is a polysaccharide formed by plants through photosynthesis, and cellulose is also a polysaccharide made by plants as a structural component of cell walls.
Cellulose is a very strong structural molecule in plants that is formed by hydrogen bonding between chains of glucose molecules. It provides support and rigidity to plant cell walls, allowing them to maintain their shape and structure.
The main functional group found in cellulose is the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which repeats along the glucose molecules forming hydrogen bonds between cellulose chains. There are also acetal functional groups formed between glucose molecules through glycosidic linkages.
A combination of many disaccharides will yield a polysaccharaide, such as starch or cellulose
A cellulose sponge is made of, well, cellulose. Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls, so many plant derived products are cellulose based. Wood is about 50% cellulose, paper and cardboard are almost entirely cellulose, and most plant fibers are mostly cellulose- cotton is about 90% cellulose. the wikipedia article is decent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose

difference between cellulose and maltose is that cellulose is (chiefly in technical texts) while maltose is (carbohydrate) a disaccharide, c12h22o11 formed from the digestion of starch by amylase; is converted to glucose by maltase.
In simplest term paper is a homogeneous sheet formed by irregularly intervening cellulose fibers

No, cellulose is not a living material. It is a complex carbohydrate that makes up the cell walls of plants and is produced by living organisms, but once it is formed, it is not considered to be living.
Yes, cellulose is an important sugar resulting from photosynthesis. It is a structural component in plant cell walls, providing strength and rigidity to the plant. Cellulose is one of the most abundant organic compounds on Earth and serves as a major carbon source for many organisms.
The cell walls of plants are made of a sugar polymer called cellulose. Frequently this cellulose is formed into fibers to strengthen the plant and if the plant is taken and these cellulose fibers extracted and washed, they then then be precipitated out of solution as a mat. When dry this mat is paper.
No, cellulose is not a monomer for amino acids to form a polymer. Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomers, while amino acids are the monomers of proteins, which are formed by peptide bonds. The proper pairing for cellulose would be glucose monomers, while amino acids would pair to form proteins.
