Question

Difference between glycerol and glycogen.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Glycerol is a simple polyol compound. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. The glycerol backbone is found in many lipids which are known as glycerides

glycogen is (carbohydrate) a polysaccharide that is the main form of carbohydrate storage in animals; converted to glucose as needed while glycerol is glycerol.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Glycogen is a byproduct of breaking down carbohydrates, while glycerol is a byproduct of breaking down fats. Both are relatively easily converted from these states to glucose.
• Glycerol has no nitrogen, while glycogen does.
• Glycerol is a simple polyol compound. It is a colorless, odorless viscous liquid, sweet tasting and non-toxic. The glycerol backbone is found in many lipids, which are known as glycerides, whereas glycogen is a (saccharide) polysaccharide that is the major form of carbohydrate storage in animals; converted to glucose as needed, while glycerol is glycerol.
• Glycogen is a stored form of glucose that consists of many glucose molecules linked together. Glycogen is the main source of energy. It comes from carbohydrates (macronutrients) in certain foods and liquids that you consume.
