D
Glycogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(1) starch, (2) glucose, (3) stachyose, (4) maltose, (5) raffinose, (6) cellulose, (7)sucrose, (8) lactose. iii) Starch forms helical secondary structures but cellulose does not contain complex helices.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chitin, glycogen, and cellulose are all polysaccharides. However, Lipids are not polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -d) Cellulose – Cellulose is a type of structural polysaccharide. Cellulose is found in the grass. It is made up of six thousand molecules of unbranched chains of beta glucose. It is the most abundant carbohydrate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose, as the major component of plant biomass, is the most abundant polysaccharide in the world. Cellulose is a linear polymer consisting of -1, 4-linked D-glucose residues.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen: It is made up of a large chain of molecules. Cellulose: The cell wall of the plants is made up of cellulose. Starch: It is formed by the condensation of amylose and amylopectin. Inulin: It is made up of a number of fructofuranose molecules linked together in chains. 24-Dec-2020
