Can be linear (straight chains like cellulose) or branched (complex side chains like amylopectin or glycogen).
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made of long chains of monosaccharide units linked by glycosidic bonds. They are the most abundant natural biopolymers and serve essential roles in energy storage, structural support, and cellular communication. polysaccharide
Composed of a single type of sugar monomer (e.g., starch, glycogen, cellulose). Can be linear (straight chains like cellulose) or
Polysaccharides are categorized based on their sugar composition and molecular structure: polysaccharide
Composed of two or more different monomer units (e.g., hyaluronic acid, pectin, agar).
