Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Amylose has to be classified as a storage polysaccharide, a structural polysaccharide, an acidic polysaccharide or a non-polysaccharide.
Concept introduction: The polysaccharide that is a storage form for monosaccharides and is used as an energy source in cells is called as storage polysaccharide. The polysaccharide that provides the structural elements for the animal exoskeletons and plant cell walls is called structural polysaccharide. The polysaccharide that has disaccharide as the repeating unit, one of the disaccharide component is an amino sugar and one or both the disaccharide component have a negative charge due to carboxyl group or sulphate group.
(b)
Interpretation: Stachyose has to be classified as a storage polysaccharide, a structural polysaccharide, an acidic polysaccharide or a non-polysaccharide.
Concept introduction: The polysaccharide that is a storage form for monosaccharides and is used as an energy source in cells is called as storage polysaccharide. The polysaccharide that provides the structural elements for the animal exoskeletons and plant cell walls is called structural polysaccharide. The polysaccharide that has disaccharide as the repeating unit, one of the disaccharide component is an amino sugar and one or both the disaccharide component have a negative charge due to carboxyl group or sulphate group.
(c)
Interpretation: Hyaluronic acid has to be classified as a storage polysaccharide, a structural polysaccharide, an acidic polysaccharide or a non-polysaccharide.
Concept introduction: The polysaccharide that is a storage form for monosaccharides and is used as an energy source in cells is called as storage polysaccharide. The polysaccharide that provides the structural elements for the animal exoskeletons and plant cell walls is called structural polysaccharide. The polysaccharide that has disaccharide as the repeating unit, one of the disaccharide component is an amino sugar and one or both the disaccharide component have a negative charge due to carboxyl group or sulphate group.
(d)
Interpretation: Cellulose has to be classified as a storage polysaccharide, a structural polysaccharide, an acidic polysaccharide or a non-polysaccharide.
