Answer to Question 2

Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrate in animal tissue and is made of glucose with 1,4-a glucosidic linkages with some 1,6 linkages to cause branching. Cellulose is found in plant tissues and is composed of glucose joined by 1,4- glucosidic linkages. Pectic substances are complex carbohydrates found in fruits. They consist of galacturonic acid with 1,4-a glycosidic linkages and some methylation.
