  • Starch and Glycogen: The Body's Primary Energy Storage Polysaccharides
    The two main polysaccharides used to store energy are:

    * Starch: This is the primary energy storage polysaccharide in plants. It's composed of glucose units linked together in a branched structure.

    * Glycogen: This is the primary energy storage polysaccharide in animals. It's also composed of glucose units, but its branching structure is more complex than starch.
