Question

Which monomers and types of bond found in glycogen and amylopectin?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Starch is itself composed of two types of polymer:amylose and amylopectin. In amylose, the glucose monomers are linked by 1,4 glycosidic bonds.

Answer 2

Glycogen and amylopectin are composed of:

Explanation:

• Glycogen is a polymeric chain made up of glucose molecules (about 12 to 14 molecules) which are linked to each other in a liner fashion by alpha (1→4) glycosidic bonds.
• Branching of the polymeric chains occurs, less frequently, by the formation of alpha (1→6) glycosidic bonds.
• Glucose is stored in the liver of animals in this form.
• Amylopectin is a polymeric chain made up of highly branched chains comprising of glucose units ( about 24 molecules).
• The linear chains are linked by alpha (1→4) glycosidic bonds and the branched chains are linked by alpha (1→6) glycosidic bonds.
• It is frequent in plants.
