Cellulose vs. Glycogen | Definition, Differences & Uses

Physical Properties of Cellulose and Glycogen The almost pure cellulose obtained from the seed threads of Gossypium (cotton) is tough, fibrous, and completely insoluble in water. In contrast, glycogen obtained from muscle or liver disperses readily in hot water to make a turbid solution. Despite their markedly different physical properties, both substances are (1 →4) -linked D -glucose polymers of comparable molecular weight. What structural features of these two polysaccharides underlie their d
