Cellulose (Paper)
Cellulose is a polysaccharide that consists of more than 3,000 glucose units. It's mostly found as a structural component in plant cell walls, and can only be digested by herbivorous animals. It is also "the most abundant of all naturally occurring organic compounds". Cellulose is also processed through chemical modifications to produce paper, fibers, and other manufacturing products.
