Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, while starch is the storage form of glucose in plants. Both glycogen and starch are polysaccharides made up of glucose units, but they differ in the branching pattern of their glucose chains and the enzymes involved in their synthesis and breakdown.

Why cellobiose not formed from partial hydrolysis of glycogen and starch?

Cellobiose is not formed from the partial hydrolysis of glycogen and starch because they are composed of α-1,4-glycosidic linkages between glucose units, which can be easily hydrolyzed by enzymes like amylase. In contrast, cellobiose is composed of β-1,4-glycosidic linkages, which are not easily hydrolyzed by the enzymes that break down glycogen and starch. This difference in linkage orientation prevents cellobiose from being formed during the partial hydrolysis of glycogen and starch.
