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 a monomer.
