The diagram shows part of a carbohydrate molecule formed by glucose monomer. What is the name of the molecule?

Options

  1. AAmylose
  2. BCellulose
  3. CStarch
  4. DGlycogen

Correct answer

D. Glycogen

Step-by-step solution

Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose monomer. Glucose units are linked together linearly by α 1 → 4 glycosidic bonds from one glucose to the next whereas the branches are linked to the chains by α 1 → 6 glycosidic bonds between the first glucose of the branch and a glucose on the main chain.
