Explanation

Starch is found in amyloplasts and chloroplast of plant cells in higher plants in the form of compact and insoluble granules. Dextrans occur in yeast and bacteria in the form of a stock polysaccharide. Glycogen is found in abundance in the liver of animals and forms the most essential food reserve in animals. It is also called animal starch. Chitin is found in abundance in insects and arthropods like crabs. Vertebrates cannot digest chitin. Inulin occurs in roots and tubers of onions, garlic, dahlias and dandelion. It is white powdery in nature and can be used to determine the functioning of kidney by measuring Glomerular Filtration Rate.
