Two polysaccharides that store glucose are?

If by 2 polysaccharides you mean any two, then some of the common examples would be cellulose, peptidoglycan, starch (amylose and amylopectin), hemicellulose, chitin, glycogen ........... the list is almost endless.


What is the polysaccharides in the cell walls of plants?

A common polysaccharide found in plants would be starch. Starch is made up of roughly 20% amylose and 80% amylopectin which both have a very similar structure except amylopectin is made up of much larger molecules. It is the energy storage system like batteries. Another very common polysaccharide is cellulose. This is the main structural material. All of these molecules are made up of glucose molecules bonded together. In starch the bonds are alpha while in cellulose beta. This sort of means right handed for starch and left handed for cellulose.

How does starch differs from 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.
