Glycogen

Animal energy storage polysaccharide; highly branched glucose polymer stored in liver and muscle.

2
New cards

Starch

Plant energy storage polysaccharide; composed of glucose units and serves as a energy reserve.

3
New cards

Polysaccharides

Large carbohydrate polymers with roles in strength, support, and structural integrity; properties depend on their arrangement.

4
New cards

Cellulose

Primary structural polysaccharide in plant cell walls; provides rigidity to plant tissues.

5
New cards

Peptidoglycan

Polysaccharide–peptide mesh forming the bacterial cell wall; provides structural strength and shape.
