Question
Which of the following are polysaccharides?
- Protein
- Glycogen
- Fatty acids
- Glucose
Solution
Among the options provided, Glycogen is a polysaccharide.
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates. They are polymers made up of many monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic linkages. They are therefore very large, often branched, macromolecules. They tend to be amorphous, insoluble in water, and have no sweet taste.
Protein, Fatty acids, and Glucose are not polysaccharides. Protein is a polymer of amino acids, Fatty acids are carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated, and Glucose is a monosaccharide (simple sugar).
