The similarities are fairly easy - all three of these molecules are carbohydrates, that means that it is made up of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens. A more familiar description is that carbohydrates are long chains made up of sugar molecules. Another name for carbohydrate is polysaccharide (poly = many, saccharide = sugar). So, you might ask, why aren't starches sweet? Well, the chains are so long that the taste receptors on your tongue can not register them.

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.
The monomer that makes up glutose starch and cellulose is the monasaccharide?
The monomer that makes up glycogen starch and cellulose is the monasaccharide?
What are the names of the 4 polysaccharides?
The Four Names of polysaccharides are: Starch Glycogen Cellulose Chitin Their formation is: Starch: form of glucose in plants Glycogen:animal energy storage form of glucose Cellulose: glucose molecules are linked together Chitin:glucose molecules linked in the same way they are linked in cellulose The four polysaccharides are, 1.)starch 2.)dextrin 3.)glycogen 4.)cellulose
What is the monomer present in cellulose?
Starch and cellulose are both polysaccharides therefore made up of mono-saccharides such as glucose. There is more information at the related link.
What are the monomers of complex carbohydrates?
The monomers of complex carbohydrates are simple sugars, or monosaccharides, such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides join together through glycosidic bonds to form polysaccharides like starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
What carbohydrates a polysaccharide?

Which of the carbohraydrates is a polysaccharide?
Starch, glycogen, cellulose

Example of polysaccharides?
Glycogen, starch, Cellulose and chitin
What are three polysaccharides?
Examples: starch, cellulose, glycogen.
How are glycogen starch and cellulose related?
They are all polysaccharides.
What are water insolubles?
Polysaccharides such as: starch, glycogen and cellulose
The monomer that makes up glutose starch and cellulose is the monasaccharide?
The monomer that makes up glycogen starch and cellulose is the monasaccharide?
Three types of polysaccharides?
Examples: starch, cellulose, glycogen.
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 is the polymer of a carbohydrate?
The polymer of a carbohydrate is called a polysaccharide. Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharide units (simple sugars) linked together through glycosidic bonds. Examples of polysaccharides include starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
What are two polysaccharides in the structure of a plant cell?
2 polysaccharides found in plants are starch and cellulose. :)
