Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates composed of multiple monosaccharide units linked together through glycosidic bonds. These macromolecules can vary in size and structure, ranging from a few hundred to thousands of…
Carbohydrates are organic compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, typically with a hydrogen-oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water). They serve as a primary energy source for living…
1. Composition Monomers: Glycogen is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomers. Linkages: It consists of α-D-glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds (linear chains) and α-1,6-glycosidic bonds (branch points). 2. Structure…
