Polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are polymers of sugar.
The subunits that polymerize to form starches are glucose molecules. Glucose molecules link together through glycosidic bonds to form starch polymers. Starch is composed of two types of polymers: amylose, which is a linear chain of glucose molecules, and amylopectin, which is a branched chain of glucose molecules.
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.
Some examples of polymers found in carbohydrates include starch, cellulose, and glycogen. These polymers are made up of repeating units of simple sugars like glucose.
The backbone of nucleic acid polymers is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA, the sugar is ribose. The phosphate groups link the sugars together to form a chain.
Monomers are small molecules that can bind together to form larger molecules called polymers. Polymers are made up of repeating units of monomers linked together through chemical bonds. The process of monomers forming polymers is known as polymerization.
Saccharides.
Sugars (and their polymers - starches) are carbohydrates
Sugars in the form of polymers that our digestive system can use (starches).
Glucose makes Sugars and Starches and Cellulose.
Carbohydrates are polymers made of sugars.
Starch
monosachharides (monomers) bond together to form polysachharides- these are polymers made up of repeating monomer units and constitute sugars.
The subunits that polymerize to form starches are glucose molecules. Glucose molecules link together through glycosidic bonds to form starch polymers. Starch is composed of two types of polymers: amylose, which is a linear chain of glucose molecules, and amylopectin, which is a branched chain of glucose molecules.
Carbohydrates are polymers formed of structural units called monosaccharides, which are simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides can link together to form more complex carbohydrates like disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) or polysaccharides (e.g. starch).

The four main types of polymers and their respective monomers are: Proteins - made up of amino acids. Nucleic Acids - composed of nucleotides. Carbohydrates - formed from monosaccharides (simple sugars). Polymers of Lipids - while lipids are not true polymers, they are often made from fatty acids and glycerol. Each of these monomers links together to form the larger polymer structures.
