It has been estimated that >90% of the carbohydrate mass in nature is in the form of polysaccharides. In living organisms, carbohydrates play important roles. In terms of mass, the greatest amounts by far are stmctural components and food reserve materials, in that order and both in plants. However, carbohydrate molecules also serve as stmctural and energy storage substances in animals and serve a variety of other essential roles in both plants and animals.

Starch A polymeric substance of glucose molecules and a component of many terrestrial and aquatic plants used by some organisms as a means of energy storage starch is broken down by enzymes (amylases) to yield glucose, which can be used as a feedstock for chemical or energy production.

Biologically, carbohydrates are most important as energy sources. This is especially true for monosaccharides, disaccharides, and starches. Starches also function as energy storage molecules in plants. Cellulose is an essential component of plant cell walls. 

While starch is the major structural polysaccharide, plant energy storage and regulation utilize a combination of similar polysaccharides that are referred to as starch. Starch can be divided into two general structures, largely linear amylose (structure 9.17) and largely branched amylopectin (structure 9.18).
