How many statements are correct about the given diagramatic representation of glycogen?

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose in which the straight chains are linked by
glycosidic bonds and the branch points are formed by
glycosidic bonds. It has a single reducing end and several non-reducing ends, and degradation or synthesis occurs mainly at the non-reducing ends. In the given diagram,
and
represent non-reducing ends while
is the only reducing end. The branching points C and D contain
, 6 linkages, not
bonds. Therefore, out of the given statements, only statement is correct. Hence, the correct answer is only one.
