The three most common types of polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, and cellulose. Starch is a glucose polymer and insoluble in water; they must be digested with amylases. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, where starch is the same in plants. Cellulose forms most structural components in plants, and is indigestible by humans.
