Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
cellulose, glycogen, starch, or chitin
A
carbohydrates
B
lipids
C
proteins
D
nucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose and chitin are structural carbohydrates. Plant cell walls are made up of cellulose. Chitins are present in the exoskeleton of arthopods. While starch and glycogen are carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complex carbohydrates that are found in living things include starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin. Each type of complex carbohydrate has different functions in living organisms but they generally either store energy or make up certain structures of living things.

Detailed explanation-3: -Starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin are primary examples of polysaccharides. Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is made up of a mixture of amylose and amylopectin (both polymers of glucose).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose, a fibrous carbohydrate found in all plants, is the structural component of plant cell walls. Because the earth is covered with vegetation, cellulose is the most abundant of all carbohydrates, accounting for over 50% of all the carbon found in the vegetable kingdom.
