To determine:

“To predict that the enzymes involved in starch synthesis can also be used for cellulose synthesis by plant and also explain the reason based on the structure and function of enzymes and the polymer synthesis”.

Introduction:

The starch and glycogen are polysaccharide that are formed by many monomers of glucose units. These units joined together through α-glycosidic bond . These molecules are stored in cell that provides energy when needed by the cell.
