Answer 2

Glycogen is a ‘homopolymer’ made of Glucose units.

Option: (a)

Explanation:

• Glycogen is a ‘homopolymer’ polysaccharide which is made up of glucose units. Glucose is a simple sugar and a monosaccharide which is the main ‘source of energy’ for the body.  

• Glucose in the body is stored in the form of ‘glycogen’. Glycogen is stored in the ‘form of granules’ in the cytoplasm of cells.  

• Glycogen plays an ‘important role’ in the ‘glucose cycle’. It is the fastest source of energy and glucose supply when ‘blood sugar levels’ drops. An increased sugar level is stored in the form of glycogen.
