9. Name and describe the 3 energy storage and 3 structural polysaccharides covered in class
(amylose, amylopectin, cellulose, chitin, glycogen, and peptidoglycan) and include the
following information: 1) where in nature they are found (plants, animals, bacteria, etc); 2) if
they are energy storage or structural polysaccharides; 3) the types of subunits and glycosidic
bonds found within each of them; 4) if they are heteropolysaccharides or
homopolysaccharides; 5) If/how they are branched
Is there a pattern in the types of glycosidic bonds found in energy storage vs. structural
polysaccharides?
