A polysaccharide is any molecule made up of linked molecules of simple sugars. A typical example is starch, which is produced by plants, and glycogen, which is made by animals and is stored in the liver and muscles. These large molecules often have quite different physical properties than their constituent sugar molecules, such as the fact that although flour is made up of linked sugar molecules, it is not soluable in water.

- Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate structures, formed of repeating units (either mono- or di-saccharides) joined together by glycosidic bonds. The Wraith pathogen was made up of a similar material, and quite possibly so are Hive ships. (SGA: "The Seed")
- Polysaccharide was a carbohydrate composed of a chain of monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic bonds. In 2368, Data determined that a soft drink he was having with Timothy contained complex polysaccharides that reacted with the carbon dioxide therein to produce "an unusual combination of texture and effervescence."
