Consisting of, or containing, cells.
-
The substance which constitutes the essential part of the solid framework of plants, of ordinary wood, linen, paper, etc. It is also found to a slight extent in certain animals, as the tunicates. It is a carbohydrate, (C6H10O5)n, isomeric with starch, and is convertible into starches and sugars by the action of heat and acids. When pure, it is a white amorphous mass. See Starch, Granulose, Lignin.

A polysaccharide with glucose units linked as in CELLOBIOSE. It is the chief constituent of plant fibers, cotton being the purest natural form of the substance. As a raw material, it forms the basis for many derivatives used in chromatography, ion exchange materials, explosives manufacturing, and pharmaceutical preparations.

A carbohydrate forming the main part of the cell walls of plants, also found in the tests of tunicates.

-
Same etymon as Cellule. The substance which is left after the action upon any kind of vegetable tissue of such solvents as are fitted to dissolve out the matter deposited in its cavities and interstices. The tunicated or ascidian mollusca have, in their integuments, a considerable quantity of it, and it exists in the Corpora amylacea of the brain and other parts. It is identical with starch, in the proportion of its constituents, and forms the principal part of the thickness of the walls of the cells, vessels, &c., of which the vegetable organism is composed.

-
A carbohydrate forming the walls of all vegetable cells and found almost pure in elder pith, in absorbent cotton, and in pure unsized paper; a colorless, transparent mass, showing on microscopical examination the shape of the vegetable tissue from which it was derived; insoluble in water, in alcohol, or in ether, but soluble in cuprammonia. Sulphuric acid converts it into amyloid.
