Biology
2 answers:
katovenus [111]3 years ago

Answer:

Polysaccharides, one of the carbohydrate classes, act as structural and supporting elements in plant and bacterial cell walls and also in connective tissue and animal cell lining. They also act as the reserve of energy producing monosaccharides. Reserve homopolysaccharides in plant cells are starch and in animal cells glycogen.

The main functions of structural polysaccharides in animals are the stabilization and support of cellular and fibrous tissue components, conferring resistance while helping to maintain the water and ionic balance.

Muscle tissue in the body is made up of a group of what working together to perform a common function.
storchak [24]

Muscle tissue is comprised of groups of muscle cells, laid out in differing organizations depending on the muscle tissue type. For skeletal muscle tissue, the muscle tissue works together to push or pull the skeleton and move the organism conciously. For smooth muscle, the muscle tissue works together to push, pull, or constrict various structures unconciously. An example of smooth muscle is the muscles involved in pushing food through the esophagus. For cardiac muscle, the muscle tissue works together to pump the entire heart in tandem.
