  • Glycogen: The Storage Carbohydrate in Animal Tissues - Structure & Function
    The carbohydrate substrate you are describing is glycogen.

    Here's why:

    * Branched molecule: Glycogen is a highly branched polymer of glucose.

    * 10-20 glucose units per branch: The branches in glycogen are typically composed of about 10-20 glucose units.

    * Animal tissues: Glycogen is the primary storage form of glucose in animals, particularly in the liver and muscles.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.
