Match the name of each compound to its description (Lignin, Pectin, Cellulose, Glycogen, Carrageenan, and Xanthan Gum).
1) This compound is found in the woody portion of plants. It is a type of fiber, but not a carbohydrate.
2) An unbranched glucose polymer. Cannot be digested due to trans-linkages between the glucose rings
3) A polymer of modified galactose rings. This water soluble compound is found in a variety of plant-based foods, but is not absorbed by the body.
4) This compound is produced by bacteria and is often used as a substitute for gluten.
5) This compound is a plant gum that is derived from seaweed and is often used as a thickener in foods.
6) This is a highly branched glucose polymer that is used to store carbohydrates in the liver and the muscles.
