Concept explainers
a.
To name:
The storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
Introduction:
Polysaccharides are the long chain
b.
To name:
The polysaccharides that contain only
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 stiffness 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 polysaccharides that contain both
