Glycogen is composed of alpha glucose molecules.
the polysaccharides that consists of alpha D- glucose units is starch the polysaccharides that consists of beta D- glucose units is cellulose
They form different disaccharides due to there molecular structures. Alpha forms Maltose with a 1-4 glycosidic bond between each alpha glucose and another, and Beta forms the disaccharide Cellobiose with a 1-4 glycosidic bond between each beta glucose and another.
In an equimolar mixture of alpha-D-glucose and beta-D-glucose, the percentage of alpha form would be 50% and the percentage of beta form would also be 50%.
A polymer composed of beta-glucose monomers is cellulose.
Both, cellulose and starch, has a linear structure of glucose monomers connected by glyosidic bonds (1-4 glycosidic bond = Carbon atom number 1 linked with Carbon atom number 4 of the next glucose monomer's). The basic structural difference is whether the linkage is alpha or beta glycosidic bond. (Alpha and beta denotes the spatial aspect of the bondage. Alpha bondage is below the plane, beta bondage is above the plane). Cellulose is linked by beta-1-4 glycosidic bonds. Starch is linked by alpha-1-4 glycosidic bonds.
the polysaccharides that consists of alpha D- glucose units is starch the polysaccharides that consists of beta D- glucose units is cellulose
True.
They form different disaccharides due to there molecular structures. Alpha forms Maltose with a 1-4 glycosidic bond between each alpha glucose and another, and Beta forms the disaccharide Cellobiose with a 1-4 glycosidic bond between each beta glucose and another.
Cellulose and glycogen are polysaccharides.
In an equimolar mixture of alpha-D-glucose and beta-D-glucose, the percentage of alpha form would be 50% and the percentage of beta form would also be 50%.
beta glucose
starch is an alpha-glucose, Cellulose is a beta-glucose molecule
A polymer composed of beta-glucose monomers is cellulose.
Beta cells will produce insulin in a humoral response to blood glucose levels rising. Alpha cells will produce glucagon which will stimulate breakdown of glycogen stores to raise blood glucose.
Because beta is mo beta than alpha, you feel me?

The liver works by producing bile and removing toxins from the blood. It converts glycose into glycogen and even keeps your body core temperature at 27 degrees celsius. It works with the stomach, gallbladder, and small intestines. If your liver fails, toxins build up in your blood stream and you almost certainly die (without a transplant of course).
