Question

Given the branching frequency of glycogen and amylopectin, which polysaccharide would release glucose more rapidly and why?

Accepted Answer

Glycogen, because it has more frequent branch points allowing for faster glucose release.

Answer

Amylopectin, because it is found in plants and has more branch points.

Answer

Glycogen, because it is composed of beta glycosidic linkages.

Answer

Amylopectin, because it has fewer branch points allowing for slower glucose release.
