A polysaccharide \([\mathrm{X}]\) represented as \(\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_5\right)\) n serves as a reserve carbohydrate in human beings. An enzyme Phosphorylase breaks it down to glucose when required. It is also found in yeast and fungi. What is \([\mathrm{X}]\) ?
- A Cellulose
- B Starch
- C Glycogen
- D Amylose
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Glycogen
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The polysaccharide represented by the formula \((\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_5)_n\) is a polymer of glucose. Among the given options, glycogen is the primary reserve carbohydrate in humans and animals, stored mainly in the liver and muscles. It is also known as…
