Concept introduction: Cellulose, a polysaccharide made up of several glucose monomers, is seen abundantly in the earth. Plants are the chief source of cellulose, with which their cell wall is mainly made with. The rigid structure of cellulose is what permits plants to stand erect. No mammals have the ability to digest cellulose unless with the help of some cellulase producing bacteria living in the gut.
