Introduction:

The starch and glycogen are polysaccharide that are formed by many monomers of glucose units. These units joined together through α-glycosidic bond . These molecules are stored in cell that provides energy when needed by the cell.

Describe the synthesis process of sucrose, starch and cellulose in plants
Using an example, explain how the structure of a polysaccharidegives rise to its function
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is naturally formed in living organisms, however it is very harmful and is broken down immediately by catalase into water and oxygen. This reaction occurs in the peroxisome, an organelle present in both plant and animal cells. Design an experiment to determine which of the following three food samples contains the highest concentration of catalase: dried potato, ground meat, and fresh ground leaves
