16. Functions of polysaccharides include:
a. Animal Starch (Glycogen)- long term energy storage
for animal cells (stores the glucose molecules in a form not easily used!).
b. Plant Starch (Amylose)- long term energy storage
for plant cells (stores the glucose molecules in a form that is not easily used!)
c. Cellulose- Structural polysaccharide of cell walls.
d. Chitin- Structural polysaccharide of exoskeletons
of insects and crustaceans.
