Glycogen is a branched chain polymer of α-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

Question

Glycogen is a branched chain polymer of α-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 (A) amylose (B) amylopectin (C) cellulose (D) glucose

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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