Glycogen and starch are for ENERGY while cellulose and chitin are for STRUCTURE

  • Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrate molecules formed from monomeric molecules called monosaccharides. Polysaccharides perform varying functions in living organisms that possess them.

The types of polysaccharides that we have are as follows:

  • Cellulose: Cellulose is the major component of plant's cell wall. It gives the cell additional structural strength.

  • Chitin: Chitin is the major component found in the cell wall of fungi and exoskeletons of arthropods where it provides structural strength.

  • Glycogen: Glycogen is the form of carbohydrate glucose is converted to when in excess in the bloodstream. It is stored in the liver and muscles. Glycogen is changed back to glucose when it is needed for energy production.

  • Starch: Starch is the form by which plant cells store food. It is stored in the root and seed of plants. Starch is broken down into glucose when need arises for energy.

Therefore, glycogen and starch are for ENERGY while cellulose and chitin are for STRUCTURE
