Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The alpha-1, 4-glycosidic bond is the more common bond and it gives glycogen a helical structure that is suitable for energy storage. The alpha-1, 6-glycosidic bond bonds are found about every ten or so sugars and these create branching points. Therefore, glycogen is a very branched polysaccharide.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide polymer with many glucose monosaccharide units.
