selüloza
Selüloza is a naturally occurring organic compound that serves as a primary structural component of plant cell walls. It is a polysaccharide, meaning it is a long chain of sugar molecules linked together. Specifically, selüloza is made up of repeating units of glucose. Its molecular formula is (C6H10O5)n, where 'n' represents a large number of glucose units. This arrangement of glucose molecules creates a strong, linear structure that provides rigidity and support to plants. Selüloza is insoluble in water, which is a crucial property for its structural role.
Humans and many animals are unable to digest selüloza due to the absence of the necessary enzymes
