Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Storage polysaccharides Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is made up of a mixture of two polysaccharides, amylose and amylopectin (both polymers of glucose).
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrates composed of long chains of monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic linkages with a general formula of (C6H10O5)n, 40≤n≤3000.
Detailed explanation-5: -Simple carbohydrates are made up of just one or two sugar units, whereas complex carbohydrates are made up of many sugar units.
