Question
- there are two categories of polysaccharides. name them and give examples.
- complete the following chart of carbohydrates.
| carbohydrate | monomer | made by | function |
|---|---|---|---|
| animals | |||
| cellulose |
Brief Explanations
- Polysaccharides are classified into storage and structural types. Storage polysaccharides store energy, and structural polysaccharides provide structural support.
- Starch is made of glucose monomers, produced by plants, and is an energy - storage molecule. The carbohydrate made by animals is glycogen, with glucose monomers and functions as an energy - storage molecule. Cellulose is made of glucose monomers, produced by plants, and provides structural support in plant cell walls.
