Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is incorrect. Both homoglycans and heteroglycans are used for cell structure and for energy storage. Homoglycans, such as glycogen, starch and cellulose, store energy in the form of glucose. Heteroglycans, such as chitin, glycosaminoglycans and peptidoglycan, provide structural support and rigidity to the cell membranes and extracellular matrix.
