Cellulose is a major component of biomass.

It is an example of a
condensation polymer. Beta glucose monomers combine to form cellulose
polymers. The B glucose monomers are linked by an ether functional
group, which is called a B-1, 4-glycosidic bond
Cellulose is a flat, straight and rigid molecule because the bulky CH2OH
groups on C5 are on alternate sides of a joining glucose units (alternate
units are inverted)
Many of the hydroxy groups are available to hydrogen bond cellulose
molecules side by side. This forms long strong fibres.
Because the hydroxyl groups are joining cellulose molecules together, few
are available to hydrogen bond with water, therefore cellulose is insoluble
in water. Hydrogen bonds between the molecules makes cellulose a rigid
molecule.
