Question
- a table of four types of carbohydrates is shown. which list correctly matches the functions to the types of carbohydrates?
Brief Explanations
- Glycogen and starch: Glycogen is stored in liver and muscle cells and broken down to glucose when blood glucose levels decrease. Starch is stored in plant roots and seeds and provides food for seeds to germinate or for animal consumption. So they are energy - storage carbohydrates.
- Cellulose and chitin: Cellulose is the major component of plant cell walls. Chitin is the major component of fungal cell walls and arthropod exoskeletons. So they are structural carbohydrates.
