(((((They can all form bonds between polymer chains that create parallel strands.))))))
They all form highly branched fibers.
They all contain peptide bonds.
They are all composed of glucose in either the or form.

Is chitin a structural component of plants?
No, chitin is a polysaccharide structural component of insects, fungi, and some algae. Plants use cellulose as their polysaccharide structural polymer.
What macromolecule are cell walls mostly made of?
In plants cell wall made up of cellulose. In fungi,it is chitin. In bacteria it is peptidoglycan
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.
Two polysaccharides that store glucose are?
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.
Are starch glycogen cellulose and chintin examples of lipids?
No. All of these are carbohydrates and specifically polsaccharides. Starch and glycogen are storage polysaccharides. Cellulose and chitin are structural polysaccharides.
Which pair are both structural carbohydrate molecules?
cellulose and chitin
Is chitin a structural component of plants?
No, chitin is a polysaccharide structural component of insects, fungi, and some algae. Plants use cellulose as their polysaccharide structural polymer.
What macromolecule are cell walls mostly made of?
In plants cell wall made up of cellulose. In fungi,it is chitin. In bacteria it is peptidoglycan
What is A cell wall is made up of?
In plants it is usually made out of cellulose, in bacteria it is made of peptidoglycan and in fungi it is usually made of chitin.

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.
Nonliving material that makes up the cell walls of a plant cells?
cellulose. cellulose is not the material in ALL cell walls, just plant cells. It's chitin in fungi and peptidoglycan in bacteria.

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 is a non digestible polysaccharide?
Chitin and cellulose are both polysaccharides. Chitin is sturctural form of glucose in insects, the exoskeleton. Cellulose is the structural form of glucose in plants. When you "snap" a piece of plant, the "snap" is the cellulose. Cellulose can not be broken down by the stomache. It gets pushed out through the excretory system. Cellulose is fiber.
Eubacteria is to peptidoglycan as fungi is to?
Chitin
Are starch glycogen cellulose and chintin examples of lipids?
No. All of these are carbohydrates and specifically polsaccharides. Starch and glycogen are storage polysaccharides. Cellulose and chitin are structural polysaccharides.
What the difference between cellulose and chitin?
Both are polysaccharides derived from glucose monomers (chitin slightly different).However, chitin is a polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.Cellulose is a polymer of D-glucose.Both are used as structural components of living organisms.However, chitin is only found in certains animals and fungi, and cellulose is only found in plants.duplicateduplicate
