Name two sources of complex carbohydrate. Identify the constituent molecules present in them
Dear Student,
1) Cellulose, it is complex carbohydrate (polysaccharide). It is most abundant polymer found on Earth till now. It is the structural component of primary cell wall of plant. It is composed of linearly arranged thousands of Beta (1 ->4) linked D- Glucose molecules.
2) Glycogen- It is highly branched polysaccharide made up of glucose. It is the energy storage molecule generally found in animals. It is analogous to starch which is present in plants. Glucose are linked via alpha(1 -> 4) glycosidic bonds and branched at 1 ->6.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about topic.
