Answer:
C-Polysaccharides that function in energy storage are built from α glycosidic linkages, whereas polysaccharides used in structural support form straight chains that bond with adjacent chains.
Explanation:
When monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction water molecules are released; this process called covalent bonding forms an 1-4 glycosidic linkage. In energy storage polysaccharides, the linkage occurs at Carbon 1 while glucose is in its α- form; in starch, resulting chains are made up of unbranched amylose and branched amylopectin.
However, in structural polysaccharides like cellulose, repeating monomers in the β configuration; the alternating glucose monomers form unbranched β, 1-4 glycosidic linkages. These tend to bunch together, with adjacent chains joined by hydrogen bonds, making the polysaccharide rigid and with high tensile strength.
No they can not
