This document discusses polysaccharides and provides details about starch. It defines polysaccharides as polymers made of 10 or more monosaccharide molecules. Homopolysaccharides are made of identical monosaccharide units, such as starch, glycogen, and cellulose which are made of glucose. Starch consists of amylose, a linear polymer of glucose, and amylopectin, a branched polymer of glucose. The document describes tests to identify starch and other polysaccharides, noting that iodine forms complexes with starch that are blue for amylose and purple for amylopectin.
