Q

POLYSACCHRIDES?

A
(A) STARCH 
🔻insoluble in wAter
🔻as storage depots of glucose 
🚩plant converts Excess glucose into starch for storage.
(B) GLYCOGEN:
🔻🐴 store glucose by polymerising it to form glycogen
🔻broken down when needed
(C) CELLULOSE:
🔻Most abundant organic molecule
🔻plants are made from it.
🚩Wood, Cotton and 📰
(D) CHITIN:
🔻long chained polymers.
🔻Found in cell wall of fungi and etc
