The cell wall consists of cellulose microfibrils and other polysaccharides.
In plant cells, cell walls consist of cellulose microfibrils. Cellulose microfibrils resemble fiber-like strands that are meshed and embedded together.
Cellulose makes up microfibrils in plants.
the polysaccharides that consists of alpha D- glucose units is starch the polysaccharides that consists of beta D- glucose units is cellulose
The cross-linking glycans are a heterogeneous group of branched polysaccharides that bind tightly to the surface of each cellulose microfibril and thereby help to cross-link microfibrils into a complex network in plant cellwall.

Acetone is commonly used to precipitate polysaccharides because it causes the polysaccharides to become insoluble and separate out of solution. This method is effective for isolating and purifying polysaccharides from other components in a sample. Additionally, acetone is volatile and can be easily removed, leaving behind the purified polysaccharides.
Beta glucose chains are held together in microfibrils through hydrogen bonding between adjacent chains. These hydrogen bonds form strong intermolecular attractions that contribute to the structural integrity and stability of microfibrils in cellulose. The arrangement of these chains in a parallel orientation also helps in reinforcing the strength of the microfibrils.
Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, which are carbohydrates. Starch and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from mannose, glacturonic acid, galactose, and fructose.
No. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates.
The subunits of Polysaccharides are monosaccharides
