A chain of hexagonal glucose molecules (C6 H12 O6). When 2 glucose molecules bind, a water molecule is released, making cellulose a chain of C6 H10 O5 (It loses an H2 O).

What is the polysaccharides in the cell walls of plants?

A common polysaccharide found in plants would be starch. Starch is made up of roughly 20% amylose and 80% amylopectin which both have a very similar structure except amylopectin is made up of much larger molecules. It is the energy storage system like batteries. Another very common polysaccharide is cellulose. This is the main structural material. All of these molecules are made up of glucose molecules bonded together. In starch the bonds are alpha while in cellulose beta. This sort of means right handed for starch and left handed for cellulose.
