8 Important Polysaccharides: Starch
Consists of glucose subunits Plant energy storage molecule Glycogen is a very similar molecule in animals. Starch and glycogen can be digested by animals. copyright cmassengale

9 Important Polysaccharides: Cellulose
Composed of glucose subunits Different bond formed than starch Structural component in plants Cannot be digested by animals copyright cmassengale
