Glycogen is a branched chain polymer of -D-glucose units in which chain is formed by glycosidic linkage whereas branching occurs by the formation of glycosidic linkage. Structure of glycogen is similar to __________.
(i) Amylose
(ii) Amylopectin
(iii) Cellulose
(iv) Glucose
The answer is the option (ii). Structure of glycogen is very similar to the structure of amylopectin due to the glycosidic linkage in chain and glycosidic linkage present in branching. Thus, Option (ii) is the answer.
