Cellulose

Cellulose is an organic substance belonging to the group of polysaccharides. It is the main structural component of plant cell walls and the most abundant organic compound on Earth.

The name "cellulose" comes from the Latin word cellula, which means "small room" or "cell". This is due to the fact that cellulose is the basis of the building material of plant cell walls.

In terms of its chemical structure, cellulose is a linear polymer consisting of glucose molecules linked together by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Due to the presence of hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules, cellulose forms strong supramolecular structures - microfibrils.

Cellulose is indigestible by most animals, but can be broken down by some microorganisms and fungi using the enzyme cellulase. The main applications of cellulose are in the production of paper, textiles, paints, plastics and explosives.

Cellulose is a natural fiber that forms the basis of plant tissue and is widely used in various industries. It is one of the most common types of organic fiber in the world and can be obtained from a variety of plant materials such as pine wood, cotton, flax and others. It is also known as fiber and is the main component of dietary fiber.

Cellulose fiber has a number of unique properties. It is strong, flexible and lightweight, which allows it to be used to create a variety of materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, carpets and much more. In addition, it is non-allergenic, does not cause skin irritation and
