BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Many complex carbohydrates are unsubstituted at their reducing ends and are referred to as polysaccharides; examples include the oligosaccharides of milk, the cellulose of plant cell walls, and storage forms such as starch and glycogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complex carbohydrates: These are also called starches. Starches include grain products, such as bread, crackers, pasta, and rice. As with simple sugars, some complex carbohydrate foods are better choices than others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complex carbohydrates are polymers of the simple sugars. In other words, the complex carbohydrates are long chains of simple sugar units bonded together (for this reason the complex carbohydrates are often referred to as polysaccharides).

Detailed explanation-4: -polysaccharide, also called glycan, the form in which most natural carbohydrates occur. Polysaccharides may have a molecular structure that is either branched or linear.

Detailed explanation-5: -Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrate polymers consisting of more than two monosaccharides linked together covalently by glycosidic linkages in a condensation reaction. Being comparatively large macromolecules, polysaccharides are most often insoluble in water.
