Cellulose molecules are adapted for plant cell walls due to their long, straight chains that form fibrils through extensive hydrogen bonding, providing significant strength.
Cellulose molecules are adapted for plant cell walls by having long, straight chains linked by numerous hydrogen bonds to form strong fibrils, providing structural support.
