Solution

The group that is classified as polysaccharides is glycogen, cellulose, and starch.

Here's why:

  1. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates that are made up of more than two monosaccharides units.

  2. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as the secondary long-term energy storage in animal and fungal cells.

  3. Cellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of glucose monomers that reinforces the cell walls of plants.

  4. Starch is a polysaccharide produced by most green plants as energy storage. It is the most common carbohydrate in the human diet.

On the other hand, maltose, lactose, and fructose are disaccharides and monosaccharides, not polysaccharides. Sucrose is a disaccharide, and glucose and fructose are monosaccharides.
