Q44 - Organic molecules

Glycogen: A) is a storage molecule present in both animal and plant cells B) is a heteropolysaccharide C) is a disaccharide D) is a polypeptide E) is a homopolysaccharide
Pinned

The correct answer is E) is a homopolysaccharide.

Glycogen is a branched polymer made of glucose only, so it's a homopolysaccharide. It's the energy store of animals and fungi, found mostly in the liver and muscles.

Plants store starch, not glycogen, so A doesn't work.
