What is the name for the branched carbohydrate chain?
Amylopectin
7 of 16
Are Glycogen (1-4) chains shorter or longer than starch and more or less branched?
Shorter and much more branched
8 of 16
What does lots of branching mean?
Able to be broken down quicker during respiration as more ends to hydrolise from
9 of 16
Two properties of starch and glycogen!
1) insoluble in water- no effect to water potential 2) Store glucose so can be easily broken off and used in respiration
