Animals convert glucose to glycogen for longer term storage. In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver. Glycogen will be used before fat reserves are tapped.
Carbohydrates, are polysaccharides of glucose, made by animals.
glucose
just as name indicates, storage polysaccharides are polysaccharides that stores glucose (like starch and glycogen) while structural polysaccharides are polysaccharides that form the structure of an organism (like cellulose and chitin) with out any storage capabilities.
Three ways that organisms make use of polysaccharide is that plants use it for starch, animals use it for glycogen and cellulose. Polysaccharides is where most natural carbohydrates occur.
Glycogen
They are all polysaccharides made of glucose monomers.
2 polysaccharides found in plants are starch and cellulose. :)
glycogen
glycogen
monosaccharides
Is the 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins true or false?
Yes, polysaccharides store energy in the form of glucose molecules. Examples of polysaccharides that serve as energy storage molecules include glycogen in animals and starch in plants.
