Which of the following is INCORRECT about glycogen?

Options

  1. AIt is a stored form of glucose in animals
  2. BIn glycogen, right end is reducing and left end is non-reducing
  3. CIt is a branched polymer of glucose
  4. DIt is a good reducing agent

Correct answer

D. It is a good reducing agent

Step-by-step solution

Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon. These are classified as Monosaccharides, Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides. Polysaccharides can be homopolysaccharides if these are made up of same sugar unit and are heteropolysaccharides if these have more than one sugar unit. Examples of homopolysaccharides are Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose, Chitin, etc. Glycogen is made up of many glucose units. It is the stored form of sugar in animals and hence is also known as animal starch. In the structure, the right end is known as r
