Why difference properties of cellulose and glycogen?

Cellulose is a structural polysaccharide found in plants, providing rigidity and support due to its beta-linkages which humans cannot digest. On the other hand, glycogen is an energy storage polysaccharide found in animals, with alpha-linkages for rapid energy release in the body. Cellulose is insoluble in water and forms long, linear chains, while glycogen is more branched and water-soluble.

What is a polysaccharide that stores energy in your muscles and liver?

Glycogen is the polysaccharide that serves as the main storage form of glucose in the liver and muscles for energy. When energy is needed, glycogen can be broken down to release glucose for use by the body.

glycogen


What is the difference between liver glycogen and muscle glycogen?

Liver glycogen has low glycogenin content as compared to muscle glycogen.. liver glycogen responds to glucagon but muscle glycogen responds to catecholamines.. liver glycogen is used for the maintenance of blood glucose levels, but muscle glycogen is used for the supply of energy to the muscles liver glycogen can be completely broken down to glucose because of the presence of glucose 6 phosphatase, which does not occur in the muscles
