BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Polysaccharides. A long chain of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds is known as a polysaccharide (poly-= “many”). The chain may be branched or unbranched, and it may contain different types of monosaccharides. Starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin are primary examples of polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-2: -5.3 Carbohydrates. Simple sugars, known as monosaccharides, are the building blocks of carbohydrate polymers. Unlike DNA, RNA, and proteins which are linear polymers, carbohydrates are formed by both linear and branched combinations of a wide variety of naturally occurring monosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose. It serves as a form of energy storage in fungi as well as animals and is the main storage form of glucose in the human body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose, galactose and fructose are monosaccharides and share the same molecular formula: C6H12O6.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is a form of glucose, a main source of energy that your body stores primarily in your liver and muscles. Your body needs carbohydrates from the food you eat to form glucose and glycogen.
