Q

How is the structure of starch and glycogen related to its function?

A

polymer of glucose so can provide the respiratory substrate (glucose),

helical/ spherical so compact and can store more energy in a small space,

branched so large surface area and

multiple enzymes can act on them at one time,

insoluble so doesn’t affect water potential of the cell,

large so cannot diffuse out of the cell
