Question
the models show the structures of the carbohydrates cellulose, starch, and glycogen.
cellulose branched starch glycogen
compare the chemical structures of cellulose, starch, and glycogen.
| cellulose | starch | glycogen | |
|---|---|---|---|
| is a polysaccharide | |||
| has parallel rows |
Brief Explanations
- Branched Structure:
- Cellulose: Its structure is linear (no branches), so the box is unchecked.
- Starch (branched starch shown): Has some branching, so the box is checked.
- Glycogen: Highly branched, so the box is checked.
- Polysaccharide:
- All three (cellulose, starch, glycogen) are polysaccharides (made of many sugar units), so all boxes are checked.
- Parallel Rows:
- Cellulose: The model shows parallel rows (linear chains aligned), so the box is checked.
- Starch: The branched starch model does not show parallel rows, so the box is unchecked.
- Glycogen: The model is highly branched, no parallel rows, so the box is unchecked.
