glycogen
2 polysaccharides found in plants are starch and cellulose. :)
Starch and cellulose
Yes, starch naturally occurs in plants. It is a carbohydrate that can be converted into sugar through photosynthesis. Conversion of Starch into sugar (i. e. conversion of polysaccharides into di- saccharides) does not require photosynthesis.
The most common polysaccharide stored in animal body is glycogen . It is mostly stored in the liver and is converted into glucose when the body requires it .
Starch and glycogen are examples of polysaccharides, which are large carbohydrate molecules made up of many sugar units joined together. They serve as energy storage molecules in plants (starch) and animals (glycogen).
The two main polysaccharides found in plants are cellulose and starch. Cellulose is the structural component of plant cell walls, providing rigidity and support. Starch is a storage form of energy that plants use for growth and metabolism.
The polymer of glucose molecules is called glycogen in animals and humans, and starch in plants. These polymers serve as storage forms of glucose in the body and can be broken down when energy is needed.
Cellulose.
Starch :)
Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
Glycogen is the stored carbohydrate in animals just as starch is the stored carbohydrate in plants. Both serve as a source of energy when needed by the organisms.
Polymers of sugars form complex carbohydrates, such as starch and cellulose in plants, and glycogen in animals. These long chains of sugar molecules serve as energy storage molecules or structural components in cells and tissues.
