What are the functions of polysaccharides?
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.
No. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates.
The subunits of Polysaccharides are monosaccharides

They function as storage molecules as well as structural molecules. For example: storage- glycogen structural- chitin (hard exoskeleton of ants and other insects)
Starch and Cellulose are both polysaccharides
Yes, polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates.
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.
Carbohydrates, are polysaccharides of glucose, made by animals.
Disaccharides and polysaccharides arecarbohydrates.
No, polysaccharides are not types of proteins. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of multiple sugar molecules, while proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids.
