Carbohydrates 2: Polysaccharides as energy stores 0.0 / 5 ? BiologyBiological moleculesASOCR Created by: cfitzgeraldCreated on: 19-12-17 17:02 What does Glucose and Oxygen form? Carbon dioxide and water (releasing ATP) 1 of 7 Why is Glucose considered a source of energy? As it is a reactant in respiration 2 of 7 Why is Glycogen a good energy store in animals? Compact, a lot of branches- makes it easier to remove monomer units. 3 of 7 Why is Glycogen less likely to coil? The 1-4 glycosidic bonds 4 of 7 Why is Amylopectin a good energy store in plants? It coils with H bonds with branches to make compact. 5 of 7 What molecules have both 1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic bonds? Amylopectin and Glycogen 6 of 7 Why is Amylose a good energy store? it spirals with H bonds OH groups on inside of the coil= less soluble to maintain coils. 7 of 7
