It discusses the classification into homopolysaccharides (e.g., starch, glycogen, cellulose) and heteropolysaccharides (e.g., glycosaminoglycans), emphasizing the impact of glycosidic linkages on structure and function. Key polysaccharides like amylose, chitin, and peptidoglycan are examined in terms of biological significance.

Factors such as pH, salt concentration, and temperature can denature proteins. Some proteins can regain their shape and function when conditions return to normal, assisted by molecular chaperones. Ultimately, the amino acid sequence, governed by genes, dictates a protein's structure and function.
