Cellulose (Archival)

The chief constituent of the cell walls of all plants. Also, the chief constituent of many fibrous plant products, including paper and some cloth.

Cellulose (Carpet)

1. A carbohydrate which is the chief component of the cell walls of plants. Cellulose is found in wood and in cotton, linen, jute, hemp, and all of the base, leaf, and stem fibers. It is a basic raw material in the manufacture of rayon, acetate, and triacetate fibers. 2. A polysaccharide of flucose units that is the basic building block of plant cells (cp cotton; jute). Also used as a basic raw material in the manufacture of rayon and acetate.

Cellulose (Culinary)

The coarse structure of fruit, vegetables and cereals

Cellulose (Entomological)

An inert carbohydrate, the chief component of the solid framework or woody part of many plants.

Cellulose (Fitness)

Indigestible fibre in foods.

Cellulose (Forestry)

The chief substance composing the cell wallsor fibres of all plant tissue

Cellulose (Green Energy)

Alternative to fiberglass or foam insulation; made from ground-up newspaper with a fire-retardant added; R-value per inch of 3.5.

Cellulose (Insect)

An inert carbohydrate, the chief component of the solid framework or woody part of many plants.

Cellulose (Microbiology)

A glucose polysaccharide (with beta-1,4-linkage) that is the main component of plant cell walls.

Cellulose (Mold)

The chief constituent of the cell wall in all green plants; an insoluble complex carbohydrate.

Cellulose (Nutrition)

An indigestible carbohydrate found in the outer layers of fruits and vegetables. It aids in intestinal elimination and has no nutrimental value.

Cellulose (Paper)

The chief constituent of the cell walls of all plants. All plants contain tissue that, when properly processed, will yield cellulose. Cotton in its raw state contains about 91% and is the purest form of natural cellulose. Other sources for papermaking include hemp (77%), softwoods & hardwoods (57% to 65%), and kozo (66% to 77%).

Cellulose (Physical Geography)

A type of carbohydrate. Primary component used in the construction of plant cell walls.

Cellulose (Science)

A complex carbohydrate found in stems, bark, and fibrous parts of plants, not digestible by animals

Cellulose (Textiles)

a carbohydrate which is the chief component of the cell walls of plants. Cellulose is found in wood and in cotton, linen, jute, hemp, and all of the bast, leaf, and stem fibers. It is a basic raw material in the manufacture of rayon, acetate, and triacetate fibers.

Cellulose (Weight Loss)

A complex carbohydrate composed of glucose units linked together in a form that humans cannot digest

Cellulose (Wood)

The carbohydrate that is the principal constituent of wood. It forms the framework of wood cells.
