Correct answer is glucose.
One of the monosaccharides is a building block of a plant's cell wall. It is glucose.
Glucose is stored as polymeric glucan, in animals as glycogen and in plants as starch. Despite serving a general source for metabolic energy and energy storage, glucose is the main building block for cellulose synthesis and represents the metabolic starting point of carboxylate- and amino acid synthesis.Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of linked glucose units. Cellulose is an important structural component of the cell walls of plants and many algae. In plant cell walls, there are various building blocks, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and callose. For the concrete, the cells are thought to use a substance called pectin. All three building blocks and the concrete are made of different types of sugars. Cellulose is the major reinforcement for the cell wall.
