Answer 2

cellulose

starch

Answer 3

a) cellulose

Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Cellulose is found in plants as microfibrils (2-20 nm diameter and 100 - 40 000 nm long). These form the structurally strong  framework in the cell walls.

Chitin too is a structural polysaccharide as someone else mentioned. It is mainly the structure component of the exoskeleton of arthropods (crustacenas, beetles etc.)

b) starch

is a polysaccharide carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose monosaccharide units joined together by glycosidic bonds. All plant seeds and tubers contain starch which is predominantly present as amylose and amylopectin. Depending on the plant, starch generally contains 20 to 25 percent amylose and 75 to 80 percent amylopectin.

Glycogen is the same but in animal cells instead of plants
