Polysaccharides (also called glycan) are carbohydrates that are made up of more than two monosaccharides.[1] They may have a molecular structure that is either branched or linear. Examples for polysaccharides are glycogen, cellulose, pectins or chitin.[2]

Poly, meaning many, and saccharide comprise this word.
