polysakkarideilla
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates composed of long chains of monosaccharide units linked together by glycosidic bonds. They are a fundamental class of biomolecules found in living organisms and play crucial roles in energy storage, structural support, and cellular recognition.
In plants, starch is the primary storage polysaccharide, consisting of glucose units linked in either alpha-1,4
Other important polysaccharides include chitin, a structural polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and the
