23. there are two categories of polysaccharides. name them and give examples.\n24. complete the following chart of carbohydrates.\n| carbohydrate | monomer | made by | function |\n| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |\n| starch | | | |\n| | | animals | |\n| cellulose | | | |
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Polysaccharides are classified into storage and structural types. Storage polysaccharides store energy, and structural polysaccharides provide structural support.
Starch is made of glucose monomers, produced by plants, and is an energy - storage molecule. The carbohydrate made by animals is glycogen, with glucose monomers and functions as an energy - storage molecule. Cellulose is made of glucose monomers, produced by plants, and provides structural support in plant cell walls.
Answer:
Type of Polysaccharide
Examples
Storage Polysaccharide
Starch (in plants), Glycogen (in animals)
Structural Polysaccharide
Cellulose (in plants), Chitin (in fungi and exoskeletons of arthropods)
