A) a structural polysaccharide
B) structurally similar to amytopectin but extensively branched
C) a polymer of \[\beta \]-D-glucose units
D) structurally very much similar to amylopectin.
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
: Glycogen is called animal starch because its structure is similar to that of amylopectin. The main difference between glycogen and amylopectin is that amylopectin chains consist of about 20-25 glucose units but glycogen chains are much shorter and consist of about 10-14 glucose units, i.e., glycogen is highly branched.
