Difference between Peptide and Polysaccharide

Peptide vs. Polysaccharide

Peptides (from Gr.: πεπτός, peptós "digested"; derived from πέσσειν, péssein "to digest") are short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds. Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate molecules composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages, and on hydrolysis give the constituent monosaccharides or oligosaccharides.

Similarities between Peptide and Polysaccharide

Peptide and Polysaccharide have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Carboxylic acid, Enzyme, Fungus, Macromolecule, Oligosaccharide, Plant, Polymer, Protein.

Carboxylic acid

A carboxylic acid is an organic compound that contains a carboxyl group (C(.

Fungus

A fungus (plural: fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms.

Macromolecule

A macromolecule is a very large molecule, such as protein, commonly created by the polymerization of smaller subunits (monomers).

Oligosaccharide

An oligosaccharide (from the Greek ὀλίγος olígos, "a few", and σάκχαρ sácchar, "sugar") is a saccharide polymer containing a small number (typically three to ten) of monosaccharides (simple sugars).
