Answer 1

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

1. Any molecule made if thousands of simple sugar molecules covalently bonded together is a polysaccharide.

Here's a portion of a polysaccharide.

2. Another term for the category of polysaccharide is complex carbohydrate.

Chemists and biochemists tend to use the term "polysaccharide", while nutritionists favour "complex carbohydrate".

3. The name of the carbohydrate that forms the cell wall of plants is **cellulose."

4. The polysaccharide glycogen is an energy-rich compound stored in the liver and muscle cells.

5. Plants store their excess carbohydrates as starch in their roots and stems.
