Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate molecules composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages, and on hydrolysis by amylase enzymes give the constituent monosaccharides or oligosaccharides. They range in structure from linear to highly branched. Examples include storage polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen, and structural polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin

Polysaccharides can be broadly classified into two classes: Homo-polysaccharides – are made up of one type of monosaccharide units. ex: cellulose, starch, glycogen. Hetero-polysaccharides – are made up of two or more types of monosaccharide units.
