Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bonded together. Starch is a classic example of a polysaccharide and serves as the primary storage form of energy in plants. It is found in foods like grains, potatoes, and legumes. When consumed, starch is broken down into glucose during digestion to provide energy. In contrast, glucose and fructose are monosaccharides (simple sugars), while sucrose is a disaccharide made of glucose and fructose. Understanding the difference between these carbohydrate types is important for grasping how they are digested, absorbed, and utilized in the body, as well as their impact on health.
