Question

Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Glycogen is similar to amylose in its structure.
Statement II : Glycogen is found in yeast and fungi also.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
• B. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
• C. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
• D. Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

Answer 2

Statement I: Glycogen is similar to amylopectin, not amylose, in its structure. Both glycogen and amylopectin are branched polymers of glucose. Amylose, on the other hand, is a linear polymer of glucose. Thus, statement I is false.
Statement II: Glycogen is a storage polysaccharide found in animals, and it is also found in fungi, including yeast. Thus, statement II is true.
