FROM an examination of the available data for cellulose and the sugars, we have formed the conclusion that the six-atom sugar ring is associated in the crystalline state with certain linear ...

Hydrogen bonds between different layers of the polysaccharides contribute to the resistance of crystalline ... cell wall layers. Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin form structures called ...

The Cellulose Chemistry research group, lead by Dr. Alistair King, concerns the development of techniques for tuning the reactivity of bulk cellulose and at the surface, with applications in textiles, ...

Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell wall Freely permeable layer surrounding cell membrane. The cell wall of plant cells is made from cellulose. This gives them a rigid structure.
