a. Two polysaccharides namely, starch and cellulose are two important sugars in plants. The following diagram shows a part of a starch molecule and part of a cellulose molecule. Starch Celuiose i. Based on the diagram above, explain the differences between the structure of the starch molecule and the cellulose molecule. ii. Both molecules perform different functions in plant cells. Each molecule is adapted for its function. Explain how starch molecules are adapted for their function in plant cells. b. Olean is an artilicial lipid. It is formed through the condensation process between fatty acids and sucrose molecules. The diagram below shows the structure of Olean. The letter R shows where a fatty acid molecule has attached.
