g amylopectin and glycogen? amylopectin and glycogen? glycogen has αα-1,4'-glycosidic linkages, whereas amylopektin has ββ-1,4'-glycosidic linkages amylopectin and glycogen have the same kind of linkages, but glycogen has a higher frequency of αα-1,6'-glycosidic linkages glycogen has αα-1,4'-glycosidic linkages, whereas amylopektin has both αα-1,4'-glycosidic linkages and ββ-1,4'-glycosidic linkages glycogen has ββ-1,4'-glycosidic linkages, whereas amylopektin has αα-1,4'-glycosidic linkages

Answer: amylopectin and glycogen have the same kind of linkages, but glycogen has a higher frequency of αα-1,6'-glycosidic linkages

Step-by-step explanation:

Amylopectin is one of the two main fraction of starch. It has several repeating units of glucose molecules linked by α-1, 4-glucosidic linkage, but has many side chains attached to the basic chain by α-1, 6-glucosidic linkages

Glycogen, as well, is a branched polysaccharide and resembles amylopectin very much in structure, but glycogen has more glucose residues per molecule and about one-half times as many branching points.
