Alpha
what type of glucose polymer (alpha or beta) focuses on energy storage
Beta
what type of glucose polymer (alpha or beta) focuses on structure
Beta
What glucose polymer makes lots of H-bonds?
Glycogen
Type of alpha polymer that is stored in the body and used when the body needs a quick boost of energy, or if the body is in need of food.
Starch
Type of alpha polymer that is usually found in plants and is used for energy storage.
away
On an alpha-glucose molecule, does the -OH group point at you or away from you? (at or away)
at
On a beta-glucose molecule, does the -OH group point at you or away from you? (at or away)
Polysaccharides
starch is an example of? (what kind of saccharide)
release
Polysaccharides cost little energy to build and they are easily reversible, which means they can ________ energy.
faster
the more branches a molecule is, the (faster/slower) it will release glucose units for use in cell respiration

Chitin
A sugar found in the cells walls of fungi and shells of arthropods
NH2
for Chitin, what functional group replaces an -OH
