Answer:

Cell walls are composed primarily of multiple polysaccharides that can be grouped into three major classes: cellulose, pectins, and hemicelluloses

Cell walls are made up of many different polysaccharides, which can be grouped into three main categories: Cellulose, Pectins and Hemicellulose.
Cellulose is the primary polysaccharide used for the structure of the cell wall and is most commonly referred to when talking about this subject.
