Glucose has 6 OH functional groups which forms hydrogen bonds with the water molecules. The H bonding is the reason glucose, and other sugar monomers, are soluble in water. Plasma is primarily water, so one in the bloodstream it is readily absorbed into the cell, which gives it energy to function.

How does the structure of cellulose relates to the molecules function?

Cellulose has beta C1-C4 bonds between the glucose molecules - i.e. carbon 1 of 1 molecule bonds to carbon 4 of another. Animals don't produce the enzymes to break down cellulose but cows, rabbits etc. can only break it down due to symbiotic bacteria in their intestinal tract which possess the required enzymes to breakdown cellulose. In plants, cellulose is a strong supporting material because hydroxyl groups project out from each chain, forming hydrogen bonds with neighbouring chains - creating a rigid cross-linking between the chains. It is fully permeable to water and solutes which means it can allow them to move in and out of cells.
