Flagella
which are tail-like structures that allow
bacteria to move through liquids.
slime capsule
outside the cell wall, to protect them and
stop the bacterium drying out.

6. What is
cellulose?
Cellulose is the main
substance found in plant
cell walls and helps the
plant to remain stiff and
strong.
Humans cannot digest
cellulose, but it is important

7. Cellulose is an example of
a natural polymer.
A polymer is a long and
repeating chain of the same
molecule stuck together.
Cellulose is a long-chain
polymer of glucose molecules
joined together.

8. Cellulose is a molecule,
consisting of hundreds – and
sometimes even thousands –
of carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen atoms.
Cellulose is the main substance in
the walls of plant cells, helping
plants to remain stiff and upright.
Humans cannot digest cellulose,
but it is important in the diet as
fiber. Fiber assists your digestive
Animals, such as cows, sheep
and horses, can digest
cellulose, which is why they
can get the energy and
nutrients they need from
grass.
Cellulose has many uses. In
cotton, it makes clothes like
t-shirts and jeans. Paper-
making needs huge quantities
