Detailed explanation-1: -Starch is found in plants whereas glycogen is found in animals. Structural polysaccharides: Polysaccharides such as cellulose are structural polysaccharides which are found in the cell walls of plants. Another structural polysaccharide is chitin.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -5.3. Cellulose, as is starch, is a carbohydrate. It is a structural polysaccharide, while starch is one of the storage polysaccharides. In terms of quantity, cellulose is the most represented polymer on Earth and is the main support for trees and other plants (cotton, flax, jute, sugarcane, cereals, etc.).
Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose and chitin are examples of structural polysaccharides. Cellulose is used in the cell walls of plants and other organisms and is said to be the most abundant organic molecule on Earth.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide produced in nature and generally serves as the major scaffolding component for plant cell wall architecture.
