Glycogen, starch, and fiber are ALL polysaccharides.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question restatement: The claim is that glycogen, starch, and fiber are ALL polysaccharides.

Option 1: True. Both glycogen and starch are well-established polysaccharides, comprised of glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. Glycogen serves as a storage polysaccharide in animals, while starch serves a similar storage role in plants. Fiber, in the context of dietary fiber, refers to plant-based components that are largely made up of polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. Although dietary fiber can include components that are not strictly carbohydrate polymers (like lignin in some classifications), the commonly emphasized components of dietary fiber are polysaccharides, and the statement is commonly taught as true in basic biology and nutrition.

Option 2: False. If one interprets fiber as a single, uniform substance or assumes that all components of dietary fiber are exclusively non-polysaccharide, this would contradict the standard understanding that the major constituents of dietary fiber are polysaccharides. Additionally, glycogen and starch are unequivocally polysaccharides, so excluding fiber from this category would require a narrower, atypical definition of fiber.

Summary: The assertion treats glycogen and starch as classic polysaccharides and recognizes that dietary fiber contains polysaccharide components (e.g., cellulose) as a core part of its composition. Therefore, considering the typical educational framing, the statement is accepted as true.
