The chemical reactions and pathways involving polysaccharides, polymers of more than 10 monosaccharide residues joined by glycosidic linkages, as carried out by individual cells. The chemical reactions and pathways involving starch, the most important reserve polysaccharide in plants. It is a glucan consisting of two components, amylose and amylopectin, which are both glucose homopolymers. Starch is synthesized as a temporary storage form of carbon and can be catabolized to produce sucrose. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of starch, the most important reserve polysaccharide in plants. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of starch, the most important reserve polysaccharide in plants. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues.
