Non-starch polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates found in plant foods that are not starch molecules. They include fiber such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectins, and are important for digestive health and overall well-being. These polysaccharides provide bulk to the diet and are not broken down by human digestive enzymes.
Starch and Cellulose are both polysaccharides
2 polysaccharides found in plants are starch and cellulose. :)
Non-starch polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates found in plant foods that are not composed of starch molecules. They include dietary fibers such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectins. These polysaccharides play important roles in digestion, gut health, and maintaining blood sugar levels.

The monomer unit of polysacharides such as starch and cellulose is glucose.
The main polysaccharides present in starch are amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a linear chain of glucose units, while amylopectin is a branched chain. These polysaccharides serve as a storage form of energy in plants.
