  • starch
    Storage form of glucose in plants
  • Glycogen
    Stored in liver and muscles and can be converted into glucose if needed
  • Cellulose
    present in the cell wall of a plant cell and helps maintain the shape of a plant
  • Main function of carbohydrates
    • short term energy
    • long term energy storage
    • cell membrane markers
    • structural material
  • Short term energy in carbohydrates
    • glucose is used by all of our cells to make ATP for energy through cellular respiration
  • Long term energy storage in carbohydrates

    glycogen is stored in liver and muscles and can be converted into glucose when needed
  • Cell membrane markers
    form receptors and identification tags/markers on the cell membrane
  • Structural material

    plant cell walls are made of cellulose, cellulose are use as fiber to add bulk to waste
  • Starch function
    Energy storage molecule in plants
  • type of bonding
    Composed of glucose monomers that are joined together trough glycosidic bonds
