Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) comprise starches and dietary fibers. Starches are polymers of glucose. Dietary fibers a are mainly indigestible complex carbohydrates in plant cell walls (cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin) and a variety of gums, mucilages, and algal polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide used as energy storage in animals. Glycogen is a polymer made up of glucose units and undergoes hydrolysis to release glucose when demand for sugar increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Polysaccharides are synthesized by plants, animals, and humans to be stored for food, structural support, or metabolized for energy. The major component in the rigid cell walls in plants is cellulose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen: This polysaccharide is the polysaccharide found in animals to store energy and is composed of alpha-1, 4-glycosidic bonds with branched alpha-1, 6 bonds present at about every tenth monomer. It is mainly produced by the liver and muscles, but it can also be made during a process called glycogenesis.
