They function as storage molecules as well as structural molecules.
For example: storage- glycogen
structural- chitin (hard exoskeleton of ants and other insects)
What are the functions of polysaccharides?
Starch If you are a beaver, it would be "cellulose".
They make up the hard tissues of the plant (cellulose/wood/cell walls) and also act as a food store (starches). Provide support and energy ( APEX)
The main function of the pericarp is to protect the seeds within the fruit and aid in their dispersal. It can also help attract animals for seed dispersal or protect the seeds from environmental factors.
The main polysaccharides present in starch are amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a linear chain of glucose units, while amylopectin is a branched chain. These polysaccharides serve as a storage form of energy in plants.
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.
Yes, rice contains polysaccharides, which are complex carbohydrates that are composed of multiple sugar molecules linked together. One of the main polysaccharides found in rice is amylose, which is a type of starch that provides energy to the body.

The three types of carbohydrates includes monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides.

I have no doubt they do. All animals have nerves and the main function of nerves is to sense or feel things in their environment.
Ribose is one of the most common ones, but it depends on what polysaccharide.
