Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -What are Polysaccharides? Polysaccharides are major classes of biomolecules. They are long chains of carbohydrate molecules, composed of several smaller monosaccharides. These complex bio-macromolecules functions as an important source of energy in animal cell and form a structural component of a plant cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in humans, animals, fungi, and bacteria.
Detailed explanation-4: -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).
