Cellulose makes up microfibrils in plants.
Starch is a storage polysaccharide. it is found in plants in the form of amylose and in the form of amylopectin.
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.
it is a polysaccharide
A polysaccharide is made up of 10+ molecules by definition. So it would be 10.
What is the smallest number of glucose molecules that can form a polysaccharide?

In plant cells, cell walls consist of cellulose microfibrils. Cellulose microfibrils resemble fiber-like strands that are meshed and embedded together.
microfibrils
In Plants: Basically, cell walls contain CELLULOSE. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, a carbohydrate (am macro molecule). Cellulose forms linear chains that join together to form microfibrils. These microfibrils form alternating layers. These layers of lattices are held together by hydrogen bonds, giving the cell wall strength. In fungi: Cell walls have CHITIN. In Bacteria: Bacteria cell walls contain PEPTIDOGLYCAN, formed by cross-linked polysaccharide chains.
Monomers are the simple building blocks which combine to form more complex compounds. Monosaccharides are the foundation units to form a polysaccharide

What is the smallest number of glucose molecules that can form a polysaccharide?
Starch
Monosaccharides are polymerized.
