Cellulose is a branched polysaccharide composed of b-D-glucose units.
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles and is a highly branched polysaccharide.
Monosaccharides can be hydrolyzed to yield oligosaccharides.
Oligosaccharides consist of more than ten monosaccharide units.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Glycogen is indeed stored in the liver and muscles and is described as a highly branched polysaccharide. Cellulose, on the other hand, is a straight chain polysaccharide, and monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed further. Oligosaccharides yield 2 to 10 monosaccharide units, not more than ten.
