Answer:

Glycogen is structurally quite similar to amylopectin, although glycogen is more highly branched (8–12 glucose units between branches) and the branches are shorter. When treated with iodine, glycogen gives a reddish brown color.

Explanation:

Amylopectin is a type of starch and is one of the storage polysaccharides of plants. Glycogen is the storage polysaccharide in animals. Amylopectin is insoluble in water while glycogen is water-soluble. The main difference between amylopectin and glycogen is the solubility of each type of polysaccharide.
