Question

The difference in interchain stability between the polysaccharides glycogen and cellulose is due to: Group of answer choices the incorporation of complex ions in the three dimensional structures of both polysaccharides. both the different glycosidic linkages of the molecules and the different hydrogen bonding partners of the individual chains. the different hydrogen bonding partners of the individual chains. None of the answers is correct the different glycosidic linkages of the molecules.

Answer 1

Answer: both the different glycosidic linkages of the molecules and the different hydrogen bonding partners of the individual chains.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose which is a form of energy storage in fungi, bacteria and animals. Glycogen is primarily stored in the liver cells and skeletal muscle.

The difference in interchain stability between the polysaccharides glycogen and cellulose is due to the different glycosidic linkages of the molecules and the different hydrogen bonding partners of the individual chains.
