Glycogen is
- A a polymer of \( (\beta-D-g l u c o s e \) units
- B a structural polysaccharide
- C structurally very much similar to amylopectin
- D structurally similar to amylopectin but extensively branched
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) structurally similar to amylopectin but extensively branched
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Glycogen is called animal starch because its structure is similar to amylopectin. The main difference between glycogen
and amylopectin is that amylopectin chain consists of about 20-25 glucose unit, but glycogen chains are much shorter
and consist of about 10-14 glucose units and glycogen is highly branched.
and amylopectin is that amylopectin chain consists of about 20-25 glucose unit, but glycogen chains are much shorter
and consist of about 10-14 glucose units and glycogen is highly branched.
