Concept explainers
a.
To name:
The polysaccharide which is non-digestible by humans.
Introduction:
Polysaccharides are the long chain
b.
To name:
The storage form of carbohydrates in plants.
Introduction:
Polysaccharides are the long chain polymer of monosaccharide units, which is linked together by a glycosidic linkage. Polysaccharides may be storage or structural. The storage polysaccharides are the one that serves to store the energy in plants whereas, the structural polysaccharides are those that serves rigidity to the plant. Examples of storage polysaccharides are starch (amylose and amylopectin) and glycogen. The structural polysaccharide includes cellulose and chitin.
c.
To name:
The polysaccharide that contains only
