Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide that consists entirely of glucose molecules that are linked by two types of bonds-the alpha-1, 4-glycosidic bond and the alpha-1, 6-glycosidic bond. The alpha-1, 4-glycosidic bond is the more common bond and it gives glycogen a helical structure that is suitable for energy storage.

Detailed explanation-2: -As the name implies, polysaccharides are large high-molecular weight molecules constructed by joining monosaccharide units together by glycosidic bonds. They are sometimes called glycans. The most important compounds in this class, cellulose, starch and glycogen are all polymers of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Common examples of polysaccharides are cellulose, starch, glycogen, and chitin. Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of (1→4) linked D-glucose units: (C6H10O5) n.
