BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is a homopolysaccharide found in the liver and muscles of animals, where it is used to store energy. Chemically, glycogen is related to starch and closely resembles amylopectin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animals store glucose as glycogen in hepatocytes (liver cells) and myocytes (muscle cells) while the plants store glucose as starch in their leaves. Glycogen is a highly branched polymer and contains many non-reducing ends (regions where both degradation and synthesis occur) while starch is not highly branched.

Detailed explanation-3: -Statement 1: Glucose is stored in animals in the form of glycogen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is an extensively branched glucose polymer that animals use as an energy reserve. It is the animal analog to starch. Glycogen does not exist in plant tissue. It is highly concentrated in the liver, although skeletal muscles contain the most glycogen by weight.
