Concept introduction:
A large molecule formed by combining the multiple numbers of monosaccharides is called polysaccharide. These monosaccharides can be same, known as homo-polysaccharide, or different, known as hetero-polysaccharides. A molecule with a straight chain is called linear polysaccharide and that with a branched chain is called a branched polysaccharide.
