It explains polysaccharides, including starch (energy storage in plants), glycogen (energy in animals), and cellulose (structural component of plants). Starch, found in foods like corn and potatoes, is comprised of glucose and can be broken down for energy, while cellulose is largely indigestible but crucial in various plant materials.
