Two polysaccharides that store glucose are?

If by 2 polysaccharides you mean any two, then some of the common examples would be cellulose, peptidoglycan, starch (amylose and amylopectin), hemicellulose, chitin, glycogen ........... the list is almost endless.


Why glycogen gives red colour with iodine?

When Iodine is added to amylose, the helical shape of the unbranched polysaccharide traps Iodine molecules, producing a deep blue-black complex. Amylopectin, cellulose, and Glycogen react with iodine to give red to brown colors. Glycogen produces a reddish-purple color.


What is the subtrate and subunit product of amylase?

The Substrate for amylase are starch (amylose and Amylopectin), glycogen, and various Oligosaccharides and the subunit is maltose.

What type of polysaccharide is found in potatoes?

Starch is found potatoes, not Glycogen. Glycogen is the plant equivalent of animal glycogen. A potato has starch but no glycogen; muscle cells have glycogen but no starch. The starch we eat is broken into glucose in the stomach/small intest and then reassembled in the muscle cells as glycogen.


Where is most of the body's glycogen found?

Muscles contain the most glycogen..........


What are the storage forms of carbohydrates found in animals?

Glycogen and Glucose.


What is an example of glycogen?

Glycogen is what animals use for short term energy production. So if you are looking at finding food with glycogen either to eat or stay away from it would be protein since this is where animals store their glycogen. When you eat glycogen it must be broken down into glucose and reconstructed in the body and stored as glycogen again.


In a disaccharide two monosaccharides are joined by what kind of bond?

Junctions between saccharide molecules are called glycoside bonds. This not only includes mono saccharides to form disaccharides but also many to form polysaccharides like amylopectin and amylose found in the starch of plants and glycogen in animals.


What is the polymer of glucose molecules?

They're called polysaccharides and they exhibit a great diversity of form and composition. Examples include amylopectin and amylose found as starch in plants and glycogen found in animals all used for secondary energy storage. Together with cellulose, which is also a polysaccharide, these are the most common polysaccharides but there are many others.
