No. Polypeptides and polysaccharides are two different types of macromolecules. The first class is commonly called "proteins" and the second is commonly called "sugars." Both are polymers - molecules that are composed of smaller subunits called monomers.
Polypeptides ― or proteins ― are composed of monomers called amino acids. In contrast, polysaccharides are composed of monomers called monosaccharides.

Polysaccharides are polymers of what?
Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, which are carbohydrates. Starch and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from mannose, glacturonic acid, galactose, and fructose.
Are sugars made of polysaccharides?
yes
What is a large molecule made of many monosaccharides known as?
They are called polysaccharides. They are made up of many monosaccharides
What kind of molecules are made from monosaccharides?
Polysaccharides
what are polymers made of amino acids called?
Polypeptides. The chain that is a precursor to proteins.
DNA most directly determines which are made by a cell a polysaccharides b polypeptides c nucleotides d triglycerides or e fatty acids?
Polypeptides
Are polysaccharides polymers that contain up to 20 different kinds of naturally occurring amino acids?
No. Polysaccharides are sugars, amino acids make up polypeptides (proteins).
What elements do polysaccharides consist of?
Polysaccharides are composed in nutrition but the mayger one is food sciece because food is full of polysaccharides.
What are polysaccharides made by animals?
Carbohydrates, are polysaccharides of glucose, made by animals.
Material of which the building material of cells are made?
Four macro elements that we are all made up of are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Four macromolecules that we are all made up of are polysaccharides, polypeptides, polynucleotides, and fats. Notice fat is not a true polymer it is just a large molecule.
How are polypeptides made?
peptones and peptides together form long chains in the form of polypeptides.
Polysaccharides are polymers of what?
Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, which are carbohydrates. Starch and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from mannose, glacturonic acid, galactose, and fructose.
Are amino acids are polypeptides?
No, the reverse is true: polypeptides are polymers, made of amino acids (as monomers, i.e. subunits)
What do polysaccharides made of?
carbohydrates
Characteristics of polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are made up of carbohydrate molecules, monosaccharides, and glycosidic linkages. Examples of polysaccharides are starch and glycogen.
Do polysaccharides are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon?
No. Polysaccharides are made of sugars.
Are sugars made of polysaccharides?
yes
