Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates composed of long chains of monosaccharide units linked together through glycosidic bonds. They serve various functions in living organisms, such as energy storage (e.g., starch in plants and glycogen in animals) and structural support (e.g., cellulose in plant cell walls and chitin in fungal cell walls). Polysaccharides can be linear or branched and vary in solubility and digestibility depending on their structure. Common examples include starch, glycogen, cellulose, and agar.
