An important structural carbohydrate in plants is A - VCE - SSCE Biology - Question 3 - 2009 - Paper 1

The question asks for an important structural carbohydrate in plants. Out of the options provided:

• Chitin: This is primarily found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and is not a major component in plants.
• Glucose: This is a simple sugar and energy source but not a structural carbohydrate.
• Cellulose: This is the main structural component of plant cell walls, giving plants strength and rigidity.
• Glycogen: This is a storage form of glucose in animals, not a structural carbohydrate in plants.

Thus, the correct answer is C. cellulose.
