To prevent osmotic imbalance while maintaining a readily accessible energy reserve for cellular respiration, animal cells polymerise excess glucose into a highly branched storage macromolecule.
Identify this storage polymer and the specific monomeric unit from which it is constructed.
Starch, composed of α\alphaα-glucose
Glycogen, composed of β\betaβ-glucose
