The number of ‘ends’ in a glycogen molecule would be
a. Equal to the number of branches plus one
b. Equal to the number of branch points
c. One
d. Two, one on the left side and another on the right side
One should remember that the number of ‘ends’ in a glycogen molecule would be equal to the number of branches plus one. Glycogen is a branched polysaccharide made up of glucose subunits where the glucose molecules form a chain and are linked by α-1,4 linkage and the branch of glucose is linked to the main chain by α-1,6 linkage. Hence, Option (d) is the correct answer.
