Summary Introduction

To determine: The structural features of cellulose and glycogen that make their different physical properties.

Introduction:

Polysaccharides are formed by the long chain of simple monomeric units of monosaccharide. The some polysaccharides are glycogen, starch, cellulose and chitin. Some of these polysaccharides act as an energy reservoir (starch and glycogen) while some of the polysaccharide acts as a structural component of cell that forms the cell wall (cellulose and chitin).

Summary Introduction

To explain: The biological advantages of cellulose and glycogen properties.
