Basically, cellulose is a common carbohydrate found in plants which allows the plant to stand upright by forming the basic structure of its cell wall through the process of photosynthesis. It is made up of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon as well as a derivation of glucose and creates a sort of macrobiotic compound that allows most living organisms to function, meaning it serves as food on some level. Most often, a substance containing cellulose is referred to as dietary fiber.

Are all living organisms composed of cells or cellulose?
All living organisms are cells or are composed of cells. Only plant cells have cellulose which makes them stiff and upright. Plants need cellulose because they don't have bones like you and me.
