Detailed explanation-1: -These carbohydrates are called polysaccharides ("many saccharides"). Polysaccharides are also referred to as complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates that are found in living things include starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polysaccharides may be made from thousands of simple sugars linked together. These large molecules may be used for storage of energy or for structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates include simple sugars (monosaccharides) as well as large polymers (polysaccharides). Glucose is a hexose, a sugar composed of six carbon atoms, usually found in ring form. A starch macromolecule is a polysaccharide composed of thousands of glucose units.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two main forms of carbs are: simple carbohydrates (or simple sugars): including fructose, glucose, and lactose, which also are found in nutritious whole fruits. complex carbohydrates (or starches): found in foods such as starchy vegetables, whole grains, rice, and breads and cereals.
