单词 | cellulose |
释义 | cellulosen. 1. An insoluble carbohydrate which is the main structural constituent of the cell walls of plants, and one of the most abundant organic compounds on the earth; a molecule of this.Cellulose is a straight-chain polymer of glucose subunits joined by β(1,4) glycosidic linkages. It is also made by ascidians (cf. tunicin n.) and by certain bacteria. It is the main component of many materials made from plant fibres, such as cotton and paper, and a major constituent of dietary fibre.Formula: (C6H10O5)n.
