carbohydrates
polysaccharides:
-starch: (plants)
-
-20% amylose, 80% amylopectin
-
-amylose: (plants)
-
-glycosidic bonds between the 1,4 carbons hold the structure into a chain
-
-
-amylopectin: (plants)
-branched chains of A-glucose between 1,4 glycosidic bonds
-1,6 glycosidic bonds result in 90' branches off from the main chain
