BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Commonly found monomer units in polysaccharides are glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose which are simple sugars.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polysaccharides, or glycans, are polymers composed of hundreds of monosaccharide monomers linked together by glycosidic bonds. The energy-storage polymers starch and glycogen are examples of polysaccharides and are all composed of branched chains of glucose molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Three important polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed of glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -As a rule of thumb, polysaccharides contain more than ten monosaccharide units, whereas oligosaccharides contain three to ten monosaccharide units, but the precise cutoff varies somewhat according to the convention.
