What is glycogen? How is it different from starch?
Glycogen is a carbohydrate (polysaccharide). In animals, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen.
Starch is a carbohydrate consisting of two components - amylose (15 - 20%) and amylopectin (80 - 85%).
However, glycogen consists of only one component whose structure is similar to amylopectin. Also, glycogen is more branched than amylopectin.
The following results have been obtained during the kinetic studies of the reaction: 2A + B → C + D
Experiment |
A/ mol L - 1 |
B/ mol L - 1 |
Initial rate of formation of D/mol L - 1 min - 1 |
I | 0.1 | 0.1 |
6.0 × 10 - 3 |
II | 0.3 | 0.2 |
7.2 × 10 - 2 |
III | 0.3 | 0.4 |
2.88 × 10 - 1 |
IV | 0.4 | 0.1 |
2.40 × 10 - 2 |
Determine the rate law and the rate constant for the reaction.
