Question

Diameter of moleculesand glucose residues of glycogen

Answer 1

Glycogen is a highly branched polymer of about 30,000 glucose residues. It has a molecular weight between 106 and 107daltons. Given its size, glycogen is considered a polysaccharide: i.e., a large carbohydrate constructed out of hundreds or thousands of linked monosaccharides (such as glucose).
