Starch and cellulose are complex carbohydrates found in
A
Plants
B
Animals
C
Soil
D
Air
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates, or polysaccharides, consist of hundreds or even thousands of monosaccharides. They include starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin. They generally either store energy or form structures, such as cell walls, in living things. Starch is a complex carbohydrate that is made by plants to store energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Starch and cellulose are two types of polysaccharides that are found in plants. However, they have different structures and functions. Starch is primarily used for energy storage, whereas cellulose is used for structure and support.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of complex carbohydrates are starch (the principal polysaccharide used by plants to store glucose for later use as energy), glycogen (the polysaccharide used by animals to store energy), and cellulose (plant fiber).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose is a carbohydrate found in the cell wall of plants. The carbohydrate is a polysaccharide structure. Polysaccharide is made up of a long chain of several sugar units bonded together by chemical linkage. Polysaccharides examples are chitin, glycogen, cellulose, and starch.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellulose [(C6H10O5)n] is a natural organic compound that is the most abundant biopolymer on the planet. It is a polysaccharide or complex carbohydrate made up of hundreds to thousands of glucose molecules linked together to form a chain.
