BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Polysaccharides are polymers consisting of chains of monosaccharide or disaccharide units joined by glycosidic bonds with different number of C (e.g. six for a hexose such as glucose).

Detailed explanation-2: -A polysaccharide is a large molecule made of many smaller monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars, like glucose. Special enzymes bind these small monomers together creating large sugar polymers, or polysaccharides. A polysaccharide is also called a glycan.

Detailed explanation-3: -True polysaccharides are, in turn, grouped into two major classes: (1) homopolysaccharides, which are polymers having as a repeating unit (monomer) one type of monosaccharide; and (2) heteropolysaccharides, which are made up of more than one type of monosaccharide.

Detailed explanation-4: -The inulin molecule is a small, inert polysaccharide that readily passes through the digestive system and remains neutral to cellular activity.
