Starch is the main carbohydrate stored in plants as grains or tubers.
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, found mainly in liver and muscle cells.
Polysaccharide - long chain of monosaccharides joined by glycosidic bonds
Cellulose is an insoluble polysaccharide that forms the structural framework of plant cell walls.
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, found mainly in liver cells and muscle tissue.
Chitin is a polymer made up of N-acetylglucosamine units, forming the exoskeletons of arthropods such as insects and crustaceans.
Chitin is a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, forming the exoskeletons of arthropods such as insects and crustaceans.
Chitin is a similar polymer to cellulose but contains N-acetylglucosamine instead of D-glucose.
