What is the function of a polysaccharide?
Polysaccharides are made of many glucose molecules. During digestion these molecules get separated and digested. They are the source of energy and in body they are stored as a polymer of glucose called glycogen.
Is polysaccharides a portein?
No. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates.
Polysaccharides and description of its main function in animals?
They function as storage molecules as well as structural molecules. For example: storage- glycogen structural- chitin (hard exoskeleton of ants and other insects)
What are the subunits polysaccharides?
The subunits of Polysaccharides are monosaccharides
What are compounds with more than two simple sugars joined together?

What are exmaples of polysaccharides?
Starch and Cellulose are both polysaccharides
Are polysaccharides carbs?
Yes, polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates.
What are Differences between oligosaccharides and polysaccharides?
Oligosaccharides are shorter carbohydrate molecules composed of 3-10 monosaccharide units, while polysaccharides are long chains of more than 10 monosaccharide units. Polysaccharides serve as energy storage or structural compounds, while oligosaccharides can function as signaling molecules or have other biological roles.
What kind of bonds hold together a polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are held together by glycosidic bonds. These covalent bonds form between the sugar molecules (monosaccharides) in a polysaccharide chain, resulting in a linear or branched structure. The type and arrangement of glycosidic bonds determine the properties and function of the polysaccharide.
Do Disacchardes and polysaccharides have the same ration as carbohydrates?
Disaccharides and polysaccharides arecarbohydrates.
What are polysaccharides made by animals?
Carbohydrates, are polysaccharides of glucose, made by animals.
