- #9. Carbohydrates - Polysaccharides
Molecules contain hundreds/thousands of monosaccharides linked into long chains. Molecules are enormous --> the majority do not dissolve in water --> good for storing energy (starch and glycogen) or for forming strong structures (cellulose)....

Glycogen
All lizards and other animals store glucose, and they do so by storing it in the form of glycogen. In order to release the glucose, glycogen molecules must be hydrolyzed. Glycogen is a storing polysaccharides.
