Detailed explanation-1: -Starch is a polysaccharide comprising glucose monomers joined in 1, 4 linkages.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pectin is particularly abundant in potato cell walls. Pectin is a heterogeneous and complex galacturonic acid (GalpA)-rich polysaccharide composed of three major domains, homogalacturonans (HG), HG analogues, and type I rhamnogalacturonans (RGI), which are covalently linked to each other (Caffall and Mohnen, 2009).

Detailed explanation-3: -Starch, cellulose, and glycogen are some examples of polysaccharides. In the food industry, the addition of polysaccharides acts as dietary fiber and stabilizers. Polysaccharides are also formed as products of bacteria, for example, in yogurt production).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose and chitin are examples of structural polysaccharides. Cellulose is used in the cell walls of plants and other organisms and is said to be the most abundant organic molecule on Earth.
