Comparative Chart for Cellulose, Starch, Glycogen

Flussdiagrammknoten

• Cellulose

• Starch

• Glycogen

• It's one of the most important structural polysaccharides. It 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. It is indigestible. 

• 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. 

• Starch is commonly formed in roots and seeds. Starch grains inside potato cells store energy. that will allow the potato to generate new plants in the spring. Starches consist of branched chains of up to half a million glucose subunits. 

• Starch is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants, while cellulose is a structural component of the plant cell wall. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals.
