Which of the following polymer is stored in the liver of animals?
1. Amylose
2. Cellulose
3. Amylopectin
4. Glycogen
Hint: Animal starch
Glycogen is a polymer of -D glucose stored in the liver, brain, and muscles of animals, also known as animal starch.
A glycogen particles in skeletal muscles can contain as much as 50,000 glucose moieties linked with α(1 → 4) bonds and branched by α(1 → 6) bonds
Amylose is important in plant energy storage.
