JEE Main Chemistry question

Glycogen and amylopectin have:

(A)Same structure
(B)Similar structure but differ in branching of the glucose chainCorrect
(C)Similar structure but differ in their solubility in water
(D)Same structure but they are stored in different parts of the body

Answer: (B)

Solution

Both glycogen and amylopectin are branched polymers of -D-glucose linked by glycosidic bonds along the chain and bonds at branch points, but glycogen is far more highly and frequently branched than amylopectin. They are therefore
