Difference between Glycogen and Starch

Glycogen vs. Starch

Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in humans, animals, fungi, and bacteria. Starch or amylum is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds.

Similarities between Glycogen and Starch

Glycogen and Starch have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amylopectin, Carbohydrate, Chitin, Digestion, Enzyme, Glucose, Glucose 1-phosphate, Glycogen branching enzyme, Glycosidic bond, Metabolism, Pancreas, Peptidoglycan, Plant, Polymer, Polysaccharide, Uridine diphosphate glucose.

Amylopectin

Amylopectin is a water-soluble polysaccharide and highly branched polymer of α-glucose units found in plants.

Carbohydrate

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words, with the empirical formula (where m may be different from n).

Glycogen branching enzyme

1,4-alpha-glucan-branching enzyme, also known as brancher enzyme or glycogen-branching enzyme is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GBE1 gene.

Glycosidic bond

In chemistry, a glycosidic bond or glycosidic linkage is a type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate (sugar) molecule to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate.

Peptidoglycan

Peptidoglycan, also known as murein, is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria, forming the cell wall.

Polymer

A polymer (Greek poly-, "many" + -mer, "part") is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits.

Polysaccharide

Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate molecules composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages, and on hydrolysis give the constituent monosaccharides or oligosaccharides.
