Question

What is a difference between starch and glycogen

Answer 1

Answer: Starch contains 20-25% amylase and 75-80% amylopectin molecules. ... While both are polymers of glucose, glycogen is produced by animals and is known as animal starch while starch is produced by plants. 3. Glycogen has a branched structure while starch has both chain and branched components.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Starch includes both amylose and amylopectin. Amylopectin is branched but amylose is not. But glycogen is way more branched(branches appear more frequently~>branched per 8-12 glucose molecules in comparison with 20-30 glucose molecules is amylopectin). So the main difference would be the branching.

Hope this helps:))
