Glycogen is _____. a polysaccharide found in plant cell walls a polysaccharide found in animals the form in which plants store sugars a source of saturated fat a transport protein that carries oxygen

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is-a polysaccharide found in animals

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide which is a highly branded form of amylopectin. In glycogen glucose residues are joined together by α1-4 glycosidic linkage and α 1-6 branching points occurs after every 8-10 glucose residues.

Glycogen is the main carbohydrate storage form of carbohydrates in animals. Glycogen is mostly present in liver and muscles. It breaks down into glucose and provide energy to the animal during the physical activity. Therefore glycogen is polysaccharide found in animals.
