Carbohydrate polymers are polysaccharides.
Plants store energy in the polysaccharide known as starch (amylose and amylopectin).
Animals store energy in the polysaccharide glycogen.
Plants form the polysaccharide cellulose for structural components (such as their cell walls).
Insects and crustaceans form the polysaccharide chitin for structural components (such as their exoskeletons).

What are the four classes of macromolecules and their importance?
CARBOHYDRATES- polymers of sugars LIPIDS- polymers of fatty acids PROTEINS- polymers of amino acids NUCLEIC ACIDS- polymers of nucleotides
What is the difference between carbohydrates and cellulose?
carbohydrates have a chemical composition similar to cellulose; however, they are not polymers.
Are carbohydrates proteins and DNA all polymers?
polymers are a type of carbohydrate, but DNA is a type of nucleic acid and polypeptides are proteins
What nutrients are produced when complex carbohydrates are split into simple ones?
Complex carbohydrates (Polysaccharides) are polymers and are made up of many monosaccharides joined together.
Are carbohydrates polymers?
Not without the addition of other chemical/physical agents. A polymer is a plastic.
What carbohydrates that are polymers?
Carbohydrates that are polymers include starch, cellulose and glycogen.
What are the polymers of carbohydrate's?
The polymers of carbohydrates are polysaccharide.

What Food provides the body with energy in the form of carbohydrates?
Sugars (and their polymers - starches) are carbohydrates
What is the compound of carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates are polymers made of sugars.
What do Polymers of sugars form?
Polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are polymers of sugar.
How are the polymers cellulose and chitin similar?
Both are carbohydrates,Polysaccharides.
Complex carbohydrates are to monosaccharides as polymers are to?
ionic bonds :)
Why are proteins and carbohydrates polymers-?
It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.
What is the difference between carbohydrates and cellulose?
carbohydrates have a chemical composition similar to cellulose; however, they are not polymers.
Are carbohydrates proteins and DNA all polymers?
polymers are a type of carbohydrate, but DNA is a type of nucleic acid and polypeptides are proteins
Subunits in carbohydrates?
The subunits (or monomers) of carbohydrates are monosaccharides and disaccharides. The polymers (the products of these linked subunits) are starches and polysaccharides.
