👉 A polysaccharide is a complex carbohydrate that contains repeating units of sugar, such as glucose. These repeating units are linked together by a side chain called a monosaccharide or a fructose unit. Polysaccharides can be found in various plant and animal foods, including fruits, vegetables, and some dairy products. They play important roles in the structure and function of cells, particularly in cellular metabolism and immune responses.
