What are polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are polymers containing many monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Like disaccharides, polysaccharides are formed by condensation reactions.
The major polysaccharides are starch and cellulose in plants, and glycogen in animals.
Polysaccharides are mainly used as an energy store and as structural components of cells.

Properties and uses of starch
Starch is the major carbohydrate storage molecule in plants.
Starch is produced from glucose made during photosynthesis. It is broken down during respiration to provide energy and is also a source of carbon for producing other molecules.
It is usually stored as intracellular starch grains in organelles called plastids.
Plastids include green chloroplasts (e.g. in leaves) and colourless amyloplasts (e.g. in potatoes).

What is cellulose?
Unlike starch, cellulose is very strong, and prevents cells from bursting when they take in excess water.
Cellulose is another polysaccharide and is the main part of plant cell walls. It is the most abundant organic polymer.
Cellulose consists of long chains of beta glucose molecules joined by beta1–4 glycosidic bonds.
The glucose chains form rope-like microfibrils, which are layered to form a network.

What is glycogen?
Animals do not store carbohydrate as starch but as glycogen.
Glycogen has a similarstructure to amylopectin, containing many alpha 1–6 glycosidic bonds that produce an even more branched structure.
Glycogen is less dense and more soluble than starch, and is broken down more rapidly. This indicates the higher metabolic requirements of animals compared with plants.
Glycogen is stored as small granules, particularly in muscles and liver.
