Question
**Glycogen Structure and Linkages** This section explores the types of linkages glycogen can form. 1. **Option 1:** - alpha 1→4 and beta 1→6 linkages 2. **Option 2:** - alpha 1→4 and alpha 1→6 linkages 3. **Option 3:** - alpha 1→4 linkages only 4. **Option 4:** - alpha 1→6 linkages only These options describe the potential glycosidic linkages in glycogen, which is a branched polysaccharide. The most common linkages involve alpha 1→4 for linear chains and alpha 1→6 for branch points.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Short notes on classification of carbohydrates,

Classification of carbohydrates: 

Monosaccharide: it composed of single sugar molecule. Example: glucose and fructose

Disaccharide: it composed of two similar or different sugar molecules which are joined together by glycosidic linkage. Example: Lactose, sucrose and maltose.

Polysaccharide: it composed of large number of monosaccharide units join by glycosidic linkage. Example: starch and glycogen.
