What good are polysaccharide?
In animals, they are primarily energy storage molecules, although there are a lot of polysaccharide chains that do many extremely important jobs on the membranes of body cells. In plants, they are not only very important food storage molecules (starch), they also serve as structural materials (cellulose) and components in wood.
Polymers of carbohydrates?
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 stores more energy starch or fat?
starch gives more energy than sugar because starch is a polysaccharide(polymer of sugar).
Is saccharide a monosaccharide?
yes ,Glycogen is a polysaccharide. It is a major storage form of carbohydrate in animal.found mainly in liver and muscle.It is a highly branched form of amylopectin .Alfa-1,6 branching point is occur every eight to ten D- glucose residues.
What polysaccharide cannot be digested by humans?
Polysaccharide cannot be used as an energy source by humans because they are hard to break down. Enzymes find it difficult to break them down into glucose for the body to use as energy.
Is a polysaccharide a carbohydrate?
Yes, a polysaccharide is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates have a ratio of 2 hydrogen to 1 oxygen. Examples of polysaccharides include cellulose, which is in plant cell walls, starch, which stores energy in plants, glycogen, which stores energy in animals, and chitin, which is in exoskeletons. Hope that helps!
Energy storing polysaccharide of animals?
A. Glycogen just answered it on plato lol.
What polysaccharide is the form of short term energy storage for animals?
glycogen

What polysaccharide is stored as an energy source in the body of animals?
Glycogen, which occurs in large amounts in the liver.
Example of glycogen?
Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose that is energy storage in animals and fungi. Glucose is an example of glycogen.
What is glycogen used for energy storage by?
Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles, and functions as the secondary long-term energy storage (with the primary energy stores being fats held in adipose tissue).
Foods that contain polysaccharide that can be used as energy for cell respiration?
food containing a polysaccharide that can be used as energy for cell respiration
What is the function of starch in animals?
Starch is a polysaccharide, thus it is made up of many molecules of monosaccharides (glucose). THis allows it to be consumed then reduced to glucose to provide energy for the organism. It is how plants store their energy.
What is a polysaccharide that stores energy in your muscles and liver?
I believe its glycogen found in liver and muscles which is made of glucose to give us energy
