But they can have serious consequences if the level of phenylalanine is high in the mother's blood during pregnancy.
Four polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, cellulose and chitin. The function of starch and glycogen are to store energy with cells within a body. Cellulose and chitin are designed to protect cells. Continue Reading.
If the polysaccharide is made up of same type of monosaccharides, they are called homopolysaccharide or homoglycan, if it is mad up of different types of monosaccharides, they are known as hetero-polysaccharides or heteroglycans. The three common polysaccharides are Starch, Glycogen and Cellulose.Starches: While Starches are basically glucose polymers they need the enzyme Amylase to be broken down into glucose or to be digested. Plants store glucose in the form of starches.Glycogen: This is a storage form of glucose which is broken down into glucose when needed by animals and humans. Cellulose: These are polysaccharides that are the components of plants and are used as building material.lants store glucose in the form of starches.
