Detailed explanation-1: -Polysaccharides are polymers consisting of chains of monosaccharide or disaccharide units joined by glycosidic bonds with different number of C (e.g. six for a hexose such as glucose).
Detailed explanation-2: -Polysaccharides, or glycans, are polymers composed of hundreds of monosaccharide monomers linked together by glycosidic bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polysaccharides are polymers2 of monosaccharides. (Long chains of structural units are called polymers [poly means many in Greek].) Thus, polysaccharides are high-molecular weight carbohydrate molecules that contain many monosaccharide units.
Detailed explanation-4: -A polysaccharide is a polymer of monosaccharides. For example cellulose (a polysaccharide) is a polymer of D-glucose (monosaccharide).
