    Cellulose consists of straight chains of beta glucose bonded together through 1-4 glycosidic linkages, forming microfibrils with high tensile strength. These microfibrils are held together by hydrogen bonds, making cellulose suitable as a component of cell walls due to its strength.

    Outline how the structure of cellulose makes it suitable as a component of cell walls.

    [2]
    Cellulose consists of straight chains of beta glucose which are covalently bonded to each
    other by 1-4 glycosidic linkages. Cellulose molecules form microfibrils which are held
    together by hydrogen bonds, creating high tensile strength.
