Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates consisting of long chains of monosaccharide (single sugar) units linked together. Common examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose. Starch is the primary energy storage form in plants, glycogen serves as the main storage form in animals (stored in liver and muscles), and cellulose—a component of dietary fiber—provides structural support in plant cell walls. These polysaccharides must be broken down into monosaccharides like glucose during digestion before they can be absorbed and used for energy. Understanding polysaccharides is key to grasping how different carbohydrate sources affect blood sugar levels, satiety, and long-term health outcomes.
