Cellulose, Hemicellulose and Lignin
Hemp.
Wood primarily consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Cellulose provides strength and rigidity, hemicellulose helps hold the cellulose fibers together, and lignin acts as a binding agent that provides resistance to decay. Additionally, wood may contain extractives, such as resins and oils, that contribute to its characteristics.

The cellulose molecules
Cellulose and in trees lignin.
Yes, cellulose and lignin are two key components of wood. Cellulose provides structural strength due to its long, aligned chains, while lignin acts as a kind of 'glue' to hold the layers of cellulose together. The hydrogen bonds between cellulose molecules help reinforce the overall structure of the wood.
Burning wood turns cellulose into char and carbon dioxide, while lignin is transformed into char, carbon dioxide, and some volatile organic compounds.
Lignin and cellulose are complex organic polymers with rigid structures that are difficult for most decomposers to break down. This makes them resistant to decay, especially in environments lacking the specific enzymes needed to degrade them effectively. Additionally, lignin acts as a protective barrier for cellulose, further hindering its decomposition.

Wood is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Cellulose provides strength and rigidity to the wood fibers, while hemicellulose helps bind cellulose fibers together. Lignin acts as a natural glue that provides structural support to the wood.
