\huge\orange{Answer:}

Polysaccharides are complex biomacromolecules that are made up chains of monosaccharides. The bonds that form these chains are glycosidic bonds. Commonly found monomer units in polysaccharides are glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose which are simple sugars.

Types of Polysaccharides :

  • 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. ex. hyaluronic acid and they provide extracellular support for organisms.

I hope it helps ^_^
