The structure and composition of polysaccharides determine their functions. For example, starch serves as an energy storage molecule in plants, while cellulose provides structural support. The presence of different chemical bonds and branching patterns in polysaccharides also influences 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 functions of polysaccharides?
The nucleus
glycogen is found in muscle cells, it functions as a reserve for glucose in muscles.
It digests carbohydrates (polysaccharides) into smaller disaccharide units, eventually converting them into monosaccharides such as glucose
two
Cell structure determines cell function
The most well known polysaccharides are cellulose, chitin, glycogen and starch. However, there are many other forms of polysaccharides that occur in nature and have their own unique functions. They vary in the types and bonding of the monosaccharides that make them up.
No. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates.
