Glycogen

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Glycogen is a storage polysaccharide in animals and is highly branched,similar in structure to amylopectin but with more frequent branching points (every $8-12$ glucose units). Amylose is a linear polymer of $\alpha$-$D$-glucose. Cellulose is a linear polymer of $\beta$-$D$-glucose. Amylopectin is a branched polymer of $\alpha$-$D$-glucose,but it is less branched than glycogen.
