They are different by the way they are made up. They are each composed of different isomers. Cellulose is exclusively a plant product.
Glycogen is nicknamed "animal starch" and is found in the liver and in muscle tissue.
Plants produce starch from mono saccharides as a result of photosynthesis.
2 polysaccharides found in plants are starch and cellulose. :)
Starch and cellulose are both polymers built from glucose, but the glucose molecules are arranged differently in each case. Having different arrangements means that starch and cellulose are different compounds. They serve different functions in the plants that make them. Your body also uses starch very differently from the way it uses cellulose.
All plants and animals contain starch of some kind. Cotton fibers are cellulose which is a particular type of starch. Actually, that is not technically correct. A starch by definition has alpha 1,4 linkage between its molecules while cellulose has beta 1,4 linkage. If you used the iodine test for starch on a piece of cotton, you will get a negative result.
No. They store glucose as starch, once its been converted into cellulose the change is permanent.
Yes, lactase can definitely break down cellulose. In fact, when the lactase works to break down the cellulose, it breaks the cellulose down into two different monomers.
Starch
No. Cellulose and starch are both forms of carbohydrates, not a form of one another.
The monomer unit of polysacharides such as starch and cellulose is glucose.
Starch-you use an enzyme e.g. amylase to convert the starch to sugar ,add an enzyme which breaks the starch or cellulose into sugars. The yeast will then ferment the sugars. Not sure about cellulose...
2 polysaccharides found in plants are starch and cellulose. :)
starch is soluble in water, on the other hand cellulose is insoluble. also, the glucose molecules in starch and cellulose are linked differently, making it impossible to be broken down by humans.
A combination of many disaccharides will yield a polysaccharaide, such as starch or cellulose
Glucose is monosaccharide. Sucrose is disaccharide. Cellulose and starch are polysaccharides.
Starch and cellulose require different digestive enzymes for the same reason that different locks require different keys. The specific shape, and distribution of electrical charge in any given molecule determines the specific enzyme that will be needed to digest it. Every chemical is different.
The monomer that makes up glycogen starch and cellulose is the monasaccharide?
Glycogen, Cellulose, and Starch are all examples of Polysaccharides.
