Functions?

Polysaccharides serve as energy reserves (starch in plants and glycogen in animals), provide structural support (cellulose in plants and chitin in exoskeletons), and offer health benefits like aiding digestion and promoting gut health through dietary fiber. These biomolecules are vital for energy storage, structural integrity, and well-being.

How to feed?

Polysaccharides are found in plants and used for cell wall material (cellulose) and energy storage (starch for plants and glycogen for animals). They include cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, plant gums, and mucilage. Polysaccharides are a significant component of starch in kibble in the form of cereal grains such as corn, wheat, sorghum, barley, and rice.
