Which statement correctly describes polysaccharides?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: They are long chains of monosaccharide units
Polysaccharides are high-molecular-weight carbohydrate polymers composed of many monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic bonds. They may be linear or branched and serve storage functions (glycogen, starch) or structural roles (cellulose, chitin). They are generally tasteless and may be soluble or insoluble depending on structure.
