Carbohydrates are very essential for energy storage in plants and animals. Biochemically, carbohydrates are referred as saccharides. Saccharides are classified as mono, di, tri and poly saccharides. Starch, glycogen and cellulose are belongs to polysaccharides.
Starch is a polysaccharide which is produced in green plants. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless compound. It is common carbohydrate in foods like rice, maize and vegetables like potato. It is the main form of energy storage in plants. The starch is made up of two glucose polysaccharides, which are called amylose and amylopectin.
The main energy storage in the form of carbohydrates in animals, humans, and fungi is called glycogen. Glycogen contains multi branched polysaccharide glucose units.
Cellulose is a linear chain compound linked by several D – glucose units found in the cell wall of plants. As it is a bulky compound, it cannot be digested by humans but it can be digested by termites with the help of micro – organisms.
