Polysaccharides are chains of sugar units that form in configurations from tens to thousands of units long. They comprise the carbohydrate storage units for plants and animals, and can also have structural roles in plants, fungi, insects, and crustaceans. Plants make starches as their storage polysaccharides, while animals store glycogen. Starches and glycogen are homopolysaccharides — meaning they have the same type of sugar throughout their chain.

 A saccharide is another name for a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are any molecules made up of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Polysaccharides are just long chains of these molecules combined together.
