Starch and cellulose are two common carbohydrates. Both are macromolecules with molecular weights in the hundreds of thousands. Both are polymers (hence "polysaccharides"); that is, each is built from repeating units, monomers, much as a chain is built from its links. The monomers of both starch and cellulose are the same: units of the sugar glucose. Starch contains alpha-glucose as monomer, whereas cellulose contains beta-glucose.

Cellulose and starch , both are molecules used in plants.

cellulose: the carbohydrates that forms the cell wall of plant cells.

starch: a large carbohydrates molecule used by plants to stora energy.

they're both the storage forms of polysaccharides. In animals, polysaccharides (which are chains of monosaccharides, also known as glucose) are stored as glycogen, when they can be converted back to monosaccharides by hydrolosis and back into monosaccharides where they can be broken down easily for energy.

In plants it's exactly the same, although polysaccharides are stored in cellulose

hope that helps

Glycogen,cellulose and starch are polysaccharides. They are made by bonding a number of glucose molecules. These 3 compounds have glucose molecules.

What is the polymer of glucose molecules?

They're called polysaccharides and they exhibit a great diversity of form and composition. Examples include amylopectin and amylose found as starch in plants and glycogen found in animals all used for secondary energy storage. Together with cellulose, which is also a polysaccharide, these are the most common polysaccharides but there are many others.
