cellulose is found in cell wall of plant cell while glycogen is reserve food material in fungi
Glycogen, Cellulose, and Starch are all examples of Polysaccharides.
STARCH in plants. GLYCOGEN in animals.
Starch Cellulose, Glycogen and Chitin Polysaccharides and for the monomer is sugar
mammals have very specific enzymes, one that breaks down starch and another that breaks down glycogen. however, the human digestive system does not have an enzyme to break down the polymer cellulose. cellulose is a straight-chain polysaccharide with glucose-glucose linkages different from those in starch or glycogen. some herbavores such as cattle, rabbits, termites, and giraffes have specially developped stomachs and intestines that hold enzyme-producing bacteria or protozoa to aid in the breakdown of cellulose. it is the different glucose-glucose linkages that make cellulose different from starch. recall that, when glucose forms a ring structure, the functional groups attached to the ring are fixed in a certain orientation above or below the ring. our enzymes are specific to the orientation of the functional groups, and cannot break down the glucose-glucose linkages found in cellulose.

They are different by the way they are made up. They are each composed of different isomers. Cellulose is exclusively a plant product. Glycogen is nicknamed "animal starch" and is found in the liver and in muscle tissue. Plants produce starch from mono saccharides as a result of photosynthesis.

Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Three important polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed ofglucose. Starch and glycogen serve as short-term energy stores in plants and animals, respectively. They range in structure from linear to highly branched.

Glycogen, another polymer of glucose, is the polysaccharide used by animals to store energy. Excess glucose is bonded together to form glycogen molecules, which the animal stores in the liver and muscle tissue as an "instant" source of energy. Glycogen The Glycogen Molecule
