Glycogen is

  • a polymer of β-D-glucose units

  • a structural polysaccharide

  • structurally very much similar to amylopectin

  • structurally similar to amylopectin but extensively branched


D.

structurally similar to amylopectin but extensively branched

Glycogen (C6H10O5)n is condensation polymer of α-D-glucose. Glycogen 1s also called animal starch because it structure is similar to that of amylopectin. Amylopectin chains consist of about 20-25 D-glucose urnts but glycogen chains are much shorter i.e they consist ofabout 10-14 glucose units. In other words glycogen is more highly branched than amylopectin.
