Polysaccharides
carbohydrate is a macromolecule of glycogen
Simple sugars are not macromolecules, but starches and cellulose are both polysaccharides and macromolecules.
Enzymes belong to the class of proteins, which are biological macromolecules. Starches belong to the class of carbohydrates, another type of biological macromolecule.
Glycogen (made up the macromolecule carbohydrates)
Amylase is an enzyme that helps break down starches like glycogen into smaller sugars like glucose through hydrolysis. When amylase reacts with glycogen, it catalyzes the conversion of glycogen molecules into glucose molecules, facilitating their absorption and use as an energy source by the body.

Starch is a polysaccharide.

The macromolecule that stores energy in muscles is glycogen. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a readily available energy source for muscle cells during physical activity.
Glycogen
The pancreatic enzyme that acts on glycogen and starches is amylase. Amylase breaks down these complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars such as maltose and glucose, which can be absorbed by the body for energy.
Enzymes belong to the class of proteins, which are biological macromolecules. Starches belong to the class of carbohydrates, another type of biological macromolecule.
Glucose. Stored in the precursor form glycogen.
Glucose. Stored in the precursor form glycogen.
Three types of polysaccharides are glycogen, starches, and fibers
