Polysaccarides: Gylcogen

 - formed by the condensation of many monosaccharides. 

 - made from lots of glucose molecules joined together by glycosidic bonds to form long, branched chains surrounding a core protein of glycogenin. 

- A storage molecule particularly in liver and muscle cells (see above) 

 - Like starch formed by the condensation of αlpha glucose

 - More branched than starch and therefore less dense and more soluble

 - More rapidly broken down than starch – higher metabolic rate in animals than plants

Just in case you didn't know #SUGAR makes you fat. These avg. 39g of sugar. Even the #nosugaradded apple juice has 42g per 12oz. So you could be taking in 9300cals a month just on juice & soda! That's 34.44 pounds a year!.... A year!! The only nutritional value these drinks give you is energy in a very short amount of time. If you aren't very active the moment you ingest this it will turn into fat (#gylcogen #adiposetissue)
