Glycogen is highly branched. what advantage, if any, does this provide to an animal as compared to purely linear glucose polymer
s? the α(1→6) glycosidic linkages at glycogen branch points are more easily hydrolyzed than the α(1→4) glycosidic linkages in linear amylose. many more glucose monomers can be stored in a branched polymer. the number of available terminal glucose monomers is higher for glycogen, thus making glucose production more rapid. the branched polymer is more soluble in water, and thus easier to digest. none of the above
The answer is ‘The number of available
terminal glucose monomers is higher for glycogen, thus making glucose
production more rapid.’ When glucagon is hydrolyzing glycogen, more glucose<span> molecules are released per
hydrolyzing event unlike in a linear molecule that would release a glucose at a
time. </span>
<span>3.2 inches. The nurse if doing a cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency procedure combines with chest compression and artificial ventilation. It is done during a cardiac arrest. When doing so the nurse should compress the lower sternum by 3.2 inches.</span>
