Polysaccharides
- Polysaccharides are made up of ten or more than ten monosaccharides.
- These are the polymers of monosaccharides.
- These are also called glycans.
- Homopolysaccharides contain only a single type of monomeric unit.
- Heteropolysaccharides contain two or more different kinds of monomeric units
Starch:
- Starch is the stored form of sugar in plants.
- Starch is made up of amylose and amylopectin.
- Amylose is an unbranched polysaccharide that consists of glucose monomers connected via α-1,4 glycosidic bond.
- Amylopectin is a branched polysaccharide that consists of glucose monomers linked via α-1,4 glycosidic bond and branches via α-1,6 glycosidic bond.
Glycogen:
- It is a homopolymer consisting of glucose monomers linked via α-1,4 glycosidic bond and branches via α-1,6 glycosidic bond at every ten or so units.
- It is a branched polysaccharide.
- It is the stored form of food in animals and fungi.
Both amylopectin and glycogen have α-1,4 glycosidic bonds.
