Homopolysaccharides are Polysaccharide (polymers) composed of a single type of sugar monomer. For example, cellulose is an unbranched homopolysaccharaide comprised of glucose monomers connected via beta-glycosidic linkages; glycogen is a branched form, where the glucose monomers are joined by alpha-glycosidic linkages.^[1]
