CELLULOSE IS TYPE OF POLYSACCHARIDES .MANY GLUCOSE MOLECULE JOIN TOGETHER TO FORM CELLULOSE BY PROCESS OF CONDENSATION. i.e TWO MONOMER JOIN TOGETHER TO FORM POLYMER BY RELEASE OF WATER MOLECULE

Cellulose is a specific type of polymer of glucose, a particular sugar.
However, from a human dietary standpoint, it's not a carbohydrate; humans do not have the necessary enzyme to break the bonds in cellulose and release the glucose.

What is the cell wall of plant cell made of?
the cell wall of a plant cell is made up of many different things like sugars and cellulose. It can be made up of many different things though.
Is a cellulose a chemical?
Yes. It is a polysaccharide (polymer of sugars) created by plants to form their cell walls.
What are the simple sugars made up of?
Starches... Starches are large molecules made of small simple sugar molecules.
Why are humans not able to use cellulose for energy?
Humans don't have the enzymes required to digest it. Cellulose is made up of sugars, but they are intertwined in a more complicated way than starch.
What of these includes sugars starches and cellulose?
Simple sugars are not macromolecules, but starches and cellulose are both polysaccharides and macromolecules.
What macromolecule includes sugars starches and cellulose?
Simple sugars are not macromolecules, but starches and cellulose are both polysaccharides and macromolecules.
What are complex sugars or starches called?
Complex sugars are compounds made up of 3 or more simple sugars. For example, glucose is a monosaccharide (1 sugar) Lactose is a disaccharide (made up of 2 sugars) Amylose is a polysaccharide (thousands of sugars in the chain) so it is considered a "complex" sugar. Glucose is one of the sugars that usually makes up a "complex" sugar.
What would a plant cell be like If it didnt have a cell wall?
Well cell walls are made up of special sugars called cellulose. Cellulose provides a protectant framework for a plant to survive plant also would mot grow.
Is sugar made into other compounds such as cellulose?
Of course it can be. Cellulose is made up of glucose
What are cellulose made up of?
banana
How starch and cellulose treated to allow them to be used by the yeast?
Starch-you use an enzyme e.g. amylase to convert the starch to sugar ,add an enzyme which breaks the starch or cellulose into sugars. The yeast will then ferment the sugars. Not sure about cellulose...
What chemicals make a cell?
A cell wall in bacteria can be made up of peptidoglycan. In plants it can be made up of cellulose. A cell wall in bacteria can be made up of peptidoglycan. In plants it can be made up of cellulose.
