Polysaccharides: The Carbs That Build AND Fuel Life! (3/3) 💪🍞 #campbellbiology #science

Carbohydrates aren’t just for quick energy—they can be built to last! 🚀 In this final part of our Carbohydrates Series, we dive into polysaccharides, the powerhouse carbs that store energy and build strong structures in living organisms!

✅ Storage polysaccharides – Starch (plants) & glycogen (animals) store glucose for later use 🔋
✅ Structural polysaccharides – Cellulose (plants) & chitin (insects, fungi) provide strength and support 🏗️

Even though starch and cellulose are both made of glucose, their glycosidic linkages change everything! α-glucose vs. β-glucose = different functions! 🤯
For more on carbohydrates and macromolecules, watch the first and second part of this series! Both videos under two minutes!
