Startch have two types of polymer chain,one is amylose and another is amylopectin.Amylose is simple straight chain of glucose(1--->4 linkage),while amylopectin have branching.At branching point,there is 1--->6 linage and 1--->4 linkage in every subchain.
So,in startch 1-6 linkage comes after 20 to 25 gucose monomer,while in gycogen this linkage comes very frequently.....

∙ 6y agoStarch, glycogen and cellulose are all polymers of glucose. They differ in the type of glucose present and the bonds which link the glucose monomers together. Starch and glycogen are made from alpha-glucose. ... Starch is itself composed of two types of polymer:amylose and amylopectin.

∙ 9y agoThere are two forms of starch, these are amylose and amylopectin. Glycogen is similar to amylopectin but it has more extensive branching. Starch is found in plants, and glycogen in animals.

∙ 9y agoStructurally, glycogen has more branches than starch. These branches occur in glycogen every 8 to 14 pieces, as opposed to the 24 to 30 pieces in starch.

Glycogen is most similar to?
Starch
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.
Is your body capable of converting starch into glycogen?
Glycogen. Starch is exclusive to plant storage of carbohydrates.
What is the main organ for storing starch?
The main organ that stores the starch is called as liver. It stores about 150 grams of glycogen. Glycogen is animal starch. The total mass of muscles also store about 150 grams of glycogen.
What are three important polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Three important polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed ofglucose. Starch and glycogen serve as short-term energy stores in plants and animals, respectively. They range in structure from linear to highly branched.

Give another name for glycogen and anothere name for starch?
Glycogen is the analogue of starch, a less branched glucose polymer in plants and is commonly referred to as ANIMAl STARCH, having a similar structure to amylopictin. Starch is naturally abundant carbohydrate are also known as PLANT STARCH or GLUCOSAN.
Is your body capable of converting starch into glycogen?
Glycogen. Starch is exclusive to plant storage of carbohydrates.
What is the another term for an animal starch?
Glycogen is the proper name for animal starch. It is stored int the livers and muscles of animals. It can also be found in certain kinds of fungi and bacteria.
What is glycogen and which group it belongs to?
Glycogen is animal starch and is a polysaccharide.
How you will define glycogen?
Glycogen is the body's storage of energy. It is a starch.
What is the storage of the starch?
glycogen
Where is glycogen (animal starch) stored?
In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles. It is sometimes called animal starch.
Would blood serum contain starch or glycogen?
starch
What foods have non starch polysaccharides in them?
