Question

Glycogen is a branched-chain polymer of α-D-glucose units in which chain is formed by C1 – C4 glycosidic linkage whereas branching occurs by the formation of C1 – C6 glycosidic linkage. Structure of glycogen is similar to ______.

विकल्प

• Amylose

• Amylopectin

• Cellulose

• Glucose

Answer 1

Glycogen is a branched-chain polymer of α-D-glucose units in which chain is formed by C1 – C4 glycosidic linkage whereas branching occurs by the formation of C1 – C6 glycosidic linkage. Structure of glycogen is similar to Amylopectin.

Explanation:

Structure of glycogen is similar to amylopeptin. It is a branched-chain polymer of a-D glucose units in which chain is formed by C1 – C4 glycosidic linkage and branching occurs by C1 – C6 glycosidic linkage.
