• Which makes up most of the walls of the living cells of plants, the fluffy white bolls of cotton plants, and about half the bulk of tree trunks.

• (a polysaccharide) in a bagel into its component glucose molecules (monosaccharides), which taste sweet.

• Chitin

• glycogen is storedin the liver and muscles of animals (including people). It is also a chain go glucose subunits, but is more highly branched than starch.
