Glycogen, Cellulose, Starch

¼ glycosdiic bonds

measn it straight chain.

1/6 glycosidic bond

branched chain

Starch

energy storage for plants

Glycogen

energy storage for animals, fungi, bacteria

Cellulose

gives structural support to plants

monomers of all

glycogen and starch is alpha, cellulose is made from beta glucose

Describe bonds of cellulose

cellulose - ¼

bond of glycogen

¼ and 1/6

bonds of starch

¼ and 1/6

glycogen structure

more branched than starch (so more ends for enzymes to act on when its broken down)

forms cross links

insoluble

compact(so lots can be stored in small space)

branches of glycogen is formed by

1/6 bonds 

glycogen is solbule or insol

insoluble — so glycogen doesnt affect water potentail of cell and doesnt diffuse out of cell

Cellulose structure

long and straight w no branches

insoluble 

cellulose has __ branches. this means

none - means that cellulose polymers can lay side by side and link tg via hydrogen bonds to form fibrils

fibrils

makes up cell wall - cellulose polymers can lay side by side and link tg via hydrogen bonds to form fibrils
