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 may contain different types of monosaccharides.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and are composed of a single molecule or subunit. The disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides linked together, and polysaccharides are composed of 3 or more monosaccharides linked together.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polysaccharides are major classes of biomolecules. They are long chains of carbohydrate molecules, composed of several smaller monosaccharides. These complex bio-macromolecules functions as an important source of energy in animal cell and form a structural component of a plant cell.
