Glycogen is a branched chain polymer of \alpha-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 __________.

(i) Amylose

(ii) Amylopectin

(iii) Cellulose

(iv) Glucose

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (ii). Structure of glycogen is very similar to the structure of amylopectin due to the C_1-C_4 glycosidic linkage in chain and C_1-C_6 glycosidic linkage present in branching. Thus, Option (ii) is the answer.
