Glycogen, on hydrolysis, gives:

Alactose and glucose
Bonly glucose
Correct Answer
Cglucose and fructose
Dglucose and maltose

Solution

Glycogen $$:$$ It is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a source of energy in animals. The carbohydrates are stored in an animal body as glycogen. It is also known as animal starch because its structure is similar to amylopectin and is rather more highly branched. It is present in the liver, muscles, and brain. When the body needs glucose, enzymes break the glycogen down into glucose. Glycogen is also found in yeast and fungi.
