GlossaryPolysaccharides

long chains of sugar molecules forming complex carbohydrates

Polysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecules bonded together, forming complex carbohydrates. They serve various functions in living organisms, such as storing energy (e.g., starch in plants and glycogen in animals) and providing structural support (e.g., cellulose in plant cell walls and chitin in the exoskeletons of insects).
