Glycogen's branching facilitates rapid glucose release and digestion, and its compact structure allows for efficient storage.
Glycogen's branched structure provides multiple ends for rapid glucose release and digestion, and its compact form allows for efficient storage.
| Front | Suggest why it is an advantage that the glycogen molecule is branched. ( 2 marks) |
|---|---|
| Back | many ends/exposed/terminal glucose units; allows rapid release of glucose/rapid digestion of molecule/rapid mobilisation in respiration make molecule compact so much can be stored in a small space; |
