write about the Glycogen
Answers
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.
Glycogen has its structure similar to that of amylopectin, but it is more highly branched.
Proteins are the fundamental structural materials of animal bodies. Proteins in the form of enzymes play prime role in all the physiological reactions. The name protein is derived form the Greek word, ‘proteios’ which means ‘primary’ or ‘of prime importance’. Nutritional sources of proteins are milk, pulses, nuts, fish, meat, etc. Chemically proteins are polyamides which are high molecular weight polymers of the monomer units called ∝-amino acids.
