3. How does each molecule's structure help the function of the molecule?
Cellulose’s long fibre like structure makes a perfect shape for cell walls.
...……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Amylose’s tight spiral shape lets in more glucose to store.
Amylopectin’s shape is also good for storing, but plants don’t need as much energy
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
as animals.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Glycogen’s shape is very good to store carbohydrate because animals need more
energy than plants so the spirals of glucose are multi branched.
