    The document discusses glycogen and cellulose, two important carbohydrates. Glycogen's monomer is glucose and its main role is to store glucose for energy in animals. Cellulose's monomer is also glucose but it is the main component of plant cell walls and cannot be easily broken down. A table is provided to compare cellulose, glycogen, and starch.
