Polysaccharides are classified into two main categories: storage polysaccharides and structural polysaccharides. Storage polysaccharides serve as energy reserves, while structural polysaccharides provide support and strength to cells and tissues. Storage polysaccharides include starch and glycogen. Starch is the primary storage polysaccharide in plants, composed of amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a linear polymer of glucose molecules linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds, whereas amylopectin is a branched structure with α-1,6-glycosidic bonds at the branch points.
