Polysaccarides
Cellulose
what cells are made of
structural polysaccharide found in plant cell walls
contains b-glucose
joined in long straight chains
hydrogen bonds link adjacent chains
chains link in 60-70 bundles called microfibrills
Polymers
made up of subunits called monomers
the small subunits are simple sugars (monosacharides)
the larger molecules are polysaccarides
polysaccarides are important for structure and energy
Glycogen
what glucose is stored as
insoluble storage for carbohydrates in animals
made of a-glucose
has a very branched structure, mkaing it easier and quicker t break down
Starch
insoluble carbohydrates in plant storage
a-glucose molecules joined by glycosidic bonds
contains branched and spiral section
Chitin
the shells of things
made of b-glucose 1-4 bonds
used as a wound healing
