Which of these polysaccharides is made of repeating units of
A
starch
B
cellulose
C
glycogen
D
chitin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose is a polymer made with repeated glucose units bonded together by beta-linkages.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose. It serves as a form of energy storage in fungi as well as animals and is the main storage form of glucose in the human body. In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of (1→4) linked D-glucose units. Cellulose is an important structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Some species of bacteria secrete it to form biofilms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is a polysaccharide made of beta-glucose monomers joined together in chains that are able to easily link into larger structures. Cellulose provides strength and rigidity to plant cell walls.
