Glycogen is a compact storage molecule with more branches than amylopectin, enabling faster release of glucose.
Glycogen is a storage polysaccharide with more side branches than amylopectin, allowing for quicker glucose release, and its compact structure makes it efficient for storage.
| Front | What is the structure of glycogen |
|---|---|
| Back | More side branches than amylopectin meaning stored glucose can be released quicker. It is a compact molecule so it is good for storage |
