      - Reducing sugar
    - - Glucose and Galactose
      - Reducing sugar
    - - Glucose and Fructose
      - Not a reducing sugar
    - - Joined through condensation reaction
  - - - Starch
        
        Insoluble in water
        
        Formed from the condensation of large numbers of glucose molecules that are in long straight or branched chains.
        
        Plant storage polysaccharide
      - Glycogen
        
        Insoluble in water
        
        Mainly stored in the liver and muscles of animals
        
        Glucose molecules are joined up in highly branched chains #
        
        Animal storage polysaccharides
      - Insoluble in water
        
        Do not affect the water potential
      - Macromolecules
        
        Unable to diffuse through the cell membrane
      - Compact shapes occupy lesser space than all the individual glucose molecules that make up a glycogen or starch molecule
      - Easily hydrolysed to glucose when needed
    - - Cellulose
        
        Insoluble
        
        Straight chains of glucose molecules that are bonded differently as compared to starch, giving cellulose a different property
        
        Forms part of the cell wall in plants.
