What is used to provide support for cells in multicelled organisms plants?
What is used to provide support in plants for cells in multicelled organisms
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 lignified cells?
Lignified cells are cells that contain lignin, which is used for structural support in plants.
What polysaccharides stiffens plants?
cellulose
What does cellulose provide for plants?
Support against gravity.
What's the difference between storage and structural polysaccharide?
Storage polysaccharides are used for storing energy in cells, like glycogen in animals and starch in plants. Structural polysaccharides provide support and rigidity to cells and organisms, such as cellulose in plant cell walls and chitin in the exoskeletons of arthropods. Essentially, storage polysaccharides store energy, while structural polysaccharides provide support and structure.
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 polysaccharide provides structural support for animals?
You are probably very familiar when we use the terms cellulose, pectin or chitin. These are all examples of structural polysaccharides. Another one is arabinoxylans. Cellulose, pectin and arabinoxylans are found mostly in plants while chitin is found in exoskeletonsof animals.
What are known as non starch polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are knows as polysaccharides. they are examples of carbohydrates.
What is composed of cellulose and is only found in plants?
Plant cell walls contain cellulose and provide structural support to plant cells.
What is used to provide support for cells in multicelled organisms plants?
What is used to provide support in plants for cells in multicelled organisms
What are the advantages of plants living in water?
No scarcity of water No lack of structural support

What polysaccharides stiffens plants?
cellulose
What is a polysaccharide and what class of organic compounds does it belong to?
Polysaccharides are long carbohydrate molecules of repeated monomer units joined together by glycosidic bonds. They range in structure from linear to highly branched. Polysaccharides have a general formula of Cx(H2O)y where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500
Polymers of carbohydrates?
Carbohydrate polymers are polysaccharides. Plants store energy in the polysaccharide known as starch (amylose and amylopectin). Animals store energy in the polysaccharide glycogen. Plants form the polysaccharide cellulose for structural components (such as their cell walls). Insects and crustaceans form the polysaccharide chitin for structural components (such as their exoskeletons).
