Carbohydrates Part 2: Polysaccharides

Professor Dave explains polysaccharides, starting with simple sugars like monosaccharides and disaccharides, and moving to complex polysaccharides. He describes the formation of glycosidic bonds, the structure of common disaccharides like cellobiose, lactose, and sucrose, and the role of polysaccharides like cellulose, starch, and glycogen in nature. The video concludes with a summary of carbohydrates and a transition to lipids.
