Question #7f0a9
1 Answer
Proteins are made up of amino acids, polysacccharides are made up of sugrs
Explanation:
Proteins are made up of small molecules know as amino acids. ![http://www.compoundchem.com/2014/09/16/aminoacids/]()
A lot of these amino acids are linked together with a peptide bond to form a protein(see next image)![)
The amino acids in the protein make different substructures, like

Polysachharides are essentially a lot of sugars (monosaccharides) linked together with glycosidic bonds. One of the most well known polysaccharides is cellulose. Cellulose is made up of lots of linked glucose molecules. ![https://myorganicchemistry.wikispaces.com/Cellulose]()
Most polysaccharides are used as either structural elements of organisms (like chitin and cellulose), whilst other polysaccharides are used to store energy for later use (like glycogen and starch)
