The long-chain carbohydrate present in animal tissue is glycogen. Glycogen serves as a primary energy storage form in animals, primarily found in the liver and muscles. It is a polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked together, allowing for rapid mobilization of glucose when energy is needed.
Cellulose is a long chain of carbohydrate present in plant tissues. It is a structural component of plant cell walls and provides rigidity and support to the plant.
A membrane protein with a carbohydrate chain is called glycoprotein
A polysaccharide is any carbohydrate made up of a chain of monosaccharides. Starch, cellulose, and glycogen ("animal starch") are polysaccharides.

A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid. -A protein attached to a carbohydrate is called a Glycoprotein.
A polypeptide chain is a chain of amino acids, which make up proteins
A carbohydrate chain is one that is made of two to possibly hundreds of carbohydrate compounds that are called monosaccharides. When they are on membrane proteins they serve as recognition markers.
monosaccharides
because it is a connected chain of sugar molecules
because it is a connected chain of sugar molecules
The chain is attached with a marker protein, and together the chain and marker protein help identify the cell to other nearby cells.
A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid.
