Structures and functions of polysaccharides
A
Polysaccharides:When many monosaccharides linked together
B
Polysaccharides:When many polysaccharides linked together
C
Cellulose:the major structural component of plants, especially wood and plant fibers
D
Cellulose:the major structural component of animals, especially in cows and pigs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose: Is a structural polysaccharide that is found in the cell wall of plants and when consumed, it acts as a dietary fibre. Cellulose is said to be the most abundant organic molecule on earth. Wood, paper, and cotton are common forms of cellulose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polysaccharides are major classes of biomolecules. They are long chains of carbohydrate molecules, composed of several smaller monosaccharides. These complex bio-macromolecules functions as an important source of energy in animal cell and form a structural component of a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The structure of cellulose consists of long polymer chains of glucose units connected by a beta acetal linkage. The graphic on the left shows a very small portion of a cellulose chain. All of the monomer units are beta-D-glucose, and all the beta acetal links connect C # 1 of one glucose to C # 4 of the next glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose. The structural components of plants are formed primarily from cellulose.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellulose is the primary structural component responsible for much of the mechanical strength of the cell wall. The distribution and orientation of cellulose microfibrils within the cell wall contribute to the control of cell growth.
