Best Answer

Glycogen is made up of glucose monomers. These monomers are combine in alpha-1,4 linkages with alpha 1,6 linkages used to create branches. Glycogen also has a small protein component that is used to initiate the glycogen polymer called glyocgenin.

Why is glycogen branched?

Glycogen is branched to allow more efficient energy storage and to provide multiple attachment points for enzymes that add to its glucose monomers.


What are the monomers that make up the 4 biological macromolecules?

The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides.Of polysaccharides: monosaccharides.Of polypeptides (the chains that make up proteins): amino acids.Lipids are macromolecules, but are not polymers, so they do not have monomers.


What are the monomers in spandex?

Spandex polymers are composed of three different monomers. Dialcohol monomers make up the rubbery, soft part of the polymer while diamine and diisocyanate monomers make up the rigid, hard part of the polymer. The three monomers of spandex therefore are dialcohol, diamine and diisocyanate.

What is the relationship between monomers andpolymers?

Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose. When you link a bunch of maltose together then they form a polysaccharide polymer of sugars. Glycogen is an example of a polymer of sugars. Glycogen is the body method of sugar storage in your liver and muscle tissue....
