Complex carbohydrates are also known as?
The term "complex carbohydrates" refers to polysaccharides. This is as opposed to simple carbohydrates, or sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides). Some nutritionists, however, use the term complex carbohydrate to refer to any sort of digestible saccharide present in a whole food where fiber, vitamins and minerals are also found.
What are the two polysaccharides used to store energy?
glycogen and starch are the two polysaccharides used to store energy
Are vacuoles found in animals plants or both?
Vacuoles are found mainly in plant cells. They occupy a considerably large volume of the cell and are used to store food supplies in the form of complex polysaccharides.
How are cellulose and chitin similar?
cellulose and chitin are considered structual polysaccharides because they form tough structual cell walls in plants for example. They are the polysaccharides that are used to build a structual frame.
What are two polysaccharides in the structure of a plant cell?

Compare the two storage polysaccharides?
Glycogen is found in animals and Starches are found in plants.
Name two polysaccharides found in plants and describe their functions?
The cell wall of the plant is made from polysaccharides, which consist of two or more monosaccharides. Polysaccharides job in the cell wall is storage, while some other polysaccharides like starch are stored to be changed into energy.
What are the example of stuctural polyssacharides?
Structural polysaccharides are the polysaccharides that are found to form the structure of an organism. Eg. Cellulose - in plants Chitin - found in outer skeleton of insects and crabs Lignin - wood
What is polysaccharide oil?
Polysaccharide oil is an oil made out of Polysaccharides."Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate structures, formed of repeating units (either mono- or di-saccharides) joined together by glycosidic bonds."Polysaccharides can be divided into Storing, Structural, Acidic and Bacterial forms.Starch (found in plants) and Glycogen (found in animals) are two forms of Storing Polysaccharides.Source: Wikipedia.com

What are three important polysaccharides?
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.
Do grains contain polysaccharides?
