How are carbohydrates polymers formed​

1 answer

Carbohydrates are polymers formed by the condensation of monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars that are linked together by glycosidic bonds. These bonds form a chain of monosaccharides, which is known as a polysaccharide. Polysaccharides can be further broken down into two categories: homopolysaccharides and heteropolysaccharides. Homopolysaccharides are composed of one type of monosaccharide, while heteropolysaccharides are composed of two or more different types of monosaccharides.
