Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Polysaccharides are very large polymers composed of tens to thousands of monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic linkages . The three most abundant polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polysaccharides contain a large number of monosaccharide units bonded to each other by a series of glycosidic bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -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. Polysaccharides are an important class of biological polymers.
