The polymers of carbohydrates are commonly referred to as polysaccharides.
Polysaccharides are large molecules composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages. They play vital roles in living organisms, functioning as energy storage compounds, such as starch in plants and glycogen in animals, as well as structural components, such as cellulose in plant cell walls. The classification of carbohydrates into monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides helps to understand their complexity and variety in biological systems.
