Glycogen on hydrolysis gives:
Correct answer: A. Glucose
- A. Glucose
- B. Galactose
- C. Fructose
- D. Ribose
Explanation
Glycogen is a storage form of glucose primarily found in the liver and muscle tissues. It is a polysaccharide made up of long chains of glucose units linked together. During hydrolysis, these glucose units are released as the glycosidic bonds are broken. The other options, such as galactose, fructose, and ribose, are different types of sugars not related to glycogen's composition.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
