    Cellulose

    Cellulose consists of permeable fibres that provide mechanical support and strength to plant cell walls. It resists expansion from osmosis as water enters plant cells, creating internal pressure and turgidity. The presence of lignin can further increase the strength of cell walls, especially in soft stem plants.
