A–B. Glycogen and the Plant Starch Forms Amylopectin and Amylose. A. Glucose molecules, bonding both linearly between the carbons 1 and 4 (green bonds) and as branches between carbons 1 and 6 (red bond) of successive glucose molecules, create glycogen (branches approximately every 10 glucose residues) or the form of plant starch called amylopectin (branches approximately every 30 glucose molecules). Glycogen and starch are usually thousands of glucose molecules long and are extremely important forms of carbohydrate storage in the human body and plants, respectively. B. Glucose molecules, bonding only linearly between the carbons 1 and 4 (green bonds) of successive glucose molecules, create the form of plant starch called amylose, which has no branching. Amylose is an important form of carbohydrate storage in plants. [Adapted with permission from Naik P: Biochemistry, Source: Chapter 2.
