Answer:
They are all carbohydrates.
Explanation:
Homo polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose (same type of sugar-all made of glucose).
1- Amylose and Amyloprotein are the components of starch. Amylose is a branched chain with alpha 1–4 and alpha 1–6 at the branch point, whereas Amylopectin is a linear chain with alpha 1–4 and alpha 1–6 at the branch point.
2- Glycogen is created by forming a branched chain from glucose at alpha 1–6. It has a lot of branches.
3- Cellulose is a linear chain of glucose molecules with beta bonds.
Starch and glycogen serve as short-term energy stores in plants and animals, cellulose found in plant cell wall only.
