Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide that consists entirely of glucose molecules that are linked by two types of bonds-the alpha-1, 4-glycosidic bond and the alpha-1, 6-glycosidic bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -Where are 1 →→ 6 bonds found in carbohydrates? They are found where glycogen and amylopectin branch.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose is a polysaccharide in which glucose molecules are linked together via 1-4 glycosidic bonds. It is an unbranched molecule. Chains of glucose molecules are arranged in a linear pattern to form cellulose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen is composed of two major bonds, which are alpha-1, 4 and alpha-1, 6 glycosidic bonds-these bonds give rise to linear chains and branching points, respectively.
Detailed explanation-5: -Starch is made up of glucose monomers that are joined by 1-4 or 1-6 glycosidic bonds. The numbers 1-4 and 1-6 refer to the carbon number of the two residues that have joined to form the bond.
