Reason for the usage of starch and glycogen as energy storage molecules and cellulose for support and structure is :
starch and glycogen can be easily digested by organisms, while that of cellulose cannot.
- The structure as well as shape of starch and glycogen give room for easy digestion by animal. With the help of starch-hydrolyzing enzymes the bond between α-glucose units can be easily be broken.
- Cellulose is good for support because of it's structure because of the presence of β-glucose units. There is no enzymes that can break the bond between the units in animal and that us the reason that it is not easy to be digested.
