Q. Glycogen is a branched chain polymer of $\alpha-D$-glucose units in which chain is formed by $C-1 — C-4$ glycosidic linkage whereas branching occurs by the formation of $C-1 — C-6$ glycosidic linkage. Structure of glycogen is similar to __________.

Biomolecules

Solution:

Amylopectin is a branched polymer, amylose and cellulose are linear polymers while glucose is a monomer.
