Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -2: Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose and serves as energy storage in animals. Cellulose is another polymer of glucose, consisting of anywhere from hundreds to over ten thousand monomers. It is the structural component of the cell walls of green plants and is the single most common organic molecule on Earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Starch is an insoluble, non-structural carbohydrate composed of -glucose polymers. It is synthesized by plants and algae to store energy in a dense, osmotically inert form.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a glucose polymer that is primarily stored in the liver and muscle and is required for glucose homeostasis during fasting.
