(2) Cellulose: linear chain of \(\beta\)-D-glucose (C1-C4 links), correct.
(3) Glycogen is the reserve carbohydrate of animals (stored in liver and muscles), not of plants; plants store starch. This statement is wrong.
(4) Proteins are polyamides of \(\alpha\)-amino acids, correct.
Answer: (3) Glycogen is the food reserve of plants.
