    Polysaccharides, also known as glycans, are the polymers of carbohydrate. These polymers are composed of the monosaccharide monomeric units that are joined together by glycosidic bonds.

    A polysaccharide molecule composed of the same type of monosaccharide units is known as homopolysaccharide or homoglycan.

    Example: Cellulose, glycogen, and cellulose.

    Whereas, a polysaccharide molecule composed of more than type of monosaccharide is known as heteropolysaccharides or heteroglycans.

    Examples: Hyaluronic acid and heparin
