difference between cellulose and glycogen (occurence in organisms)
Answers
Answer:
Cellulose constitutes long, straight, unbranched chains forming H-bonds with the adjacent chains and are insoluble in water. Starch has coiled and unbranched (amylose) or long, branched (amylopectin) while the chains of glycogen are short and highly branched chains.
Answer:
Primarily cellulose occurs in the cell wall of plants and glycogen occurs in the cytoplasm of animal cells
Explanation:
furthermore note that:
they both are polysaccharides , while Cellulose is a linear chained organic compound with the formula (C ₆H ₁₀O ₅) n, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units. Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body.
