glycogen is composed of chains of glucose molecules hooked together alpha 1,4 and branched as alpha , 1,6. This allows for only weakly branched or highly branched glycogen with the same ONE type of molecule present, glucose . Proteins , on the other hand are composed of chains and cross-linked chains of amino acids of which there are 20 naturally occurring AAs with quite different properties. You can see immediately the tremendous number of different combinations of 20 AAs that are possible. In glycogen, the position of a glucose molecule makes no difference because one glucose is like any other...In proteins substituting one amino acid for a different amino acid at a particular position will change the properties of the protein sometimes minutely other times drastically ( such as the single AA substitution of valine for a glutamic acid in a hemoglobin beta chain converts normal hemnoglobin to sickle cell hemoglobin )

What are the 3 types of ATP in a molecule?
There is only one type of ATP and it is a molecule all of its own.
Which organic compound is produced 13 fatty acid's molecules bonded to one glycerol molecule?
Glycogen
What is term for matter that is made of only one type of element or molecule?
Pure
Are Elements types of molecules?
No, an element is a substance that contains only one type of molecule.
Is a atom made of only one type of molecule?
Maybe. A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together. Whilst you can have a molecule of only a single type of atom (ie: oxygen = O2) many other types consist of more than one type of atom (ie: NaCl = salt)
What will be formed when the monomer of glycogen binds to fructose?
The glycogen is polymer of glucose. So glucose is monomer of glycogen. You get one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose from one molecule of cane sugar. So when one molecule of glucose will combine with one molecule of fructose, you will get one molecule of cane sugar.
What is composed on only one type of molecule?
What is composed of only one type of molecule
What is composed of only one type of molecule?
What is composed of only one type of molecule
What is produced in the hydrolysis of glycogen?
It is the conversion of glycogen from a non-reducing sugar to a reducing sugar by splitting all of its glycosidic bonds to produces numerous glucose molecules
Is a compound a molecule composed of one type of element only?
No, a compound is a molecule composed of MORE THAN ONE type of element.
What are the 3 types of ATP in a molecule?
There is only one type of ATP and it is a molecule all of its own.
Are Molecule of iron made of only one kind of atom?
Yes. A molecule of Iron, only consists of one type of atom, namely, Iron
Why is sulfur an element and not a compound?
Sulfur is an element because it contains only one type of molecule. Whereas, compounds have more than one type of molecule.
Which organic compound is produced 13 fatty acid's molecules bonded to one glycerol molecule?
Glycogen
What is out of place galactose glycogen fructose or glucose?
Glycogen is the odd one out. This is because glycogen exists as a long chain molecule where as the others exist as single molecules.Glycogen is actually made of lots of glucose molecules linked together.Hope this helps!
