Question
Chapter 11, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference in the structures of glycogen and cellulose needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Carbohydrates are available in various forms like starch, cellulose, glycogen etc. They all are polysaccharides which contribute as an energy source in plants and animals. The human body needs sufficient intake of sugar or glucose which is an energy source of human cells. Glycogen and cellulose are the polysacchrides formed by sugar molecules called glucose. They are a good source of energy.
