Expert Solution

Step 1
Polysaccharides are ubiquitous in nature. Polysaccharides are polymers with hundreds or thousands of monosaccharide units. They are usually not sweet in taste like other sugars. They are also called as non-sugars or glycans. Structural polysaccharides provide mechanical stability to cells, organs, and organisms. Polysaccharides can contain only a single type of monomeric unit, hence called homo-polysachharides or can be heteropolysaccharides which contain two or more different types of monomeric units.
