| Front | Why does amylose have long unbranched chains |
| Back | Amylsoe has only 1,4-glycosidic bonds, which is why the molecules are long unbranded chains. |
| Front | Where does Hydrolysis occur |
| Back | Hydrolysis takes place during digestion in the gut, and also in the muscle and liver cells when, the carbohydrate stores are broken down to release sugars for use in cellular respiration. |
| Front | Why is glycogen an ideal source of glucose for animals? |
| Back | it can rapidly break down (as it has many 1,6-glycosidic bonds) and animals may require for rapid release of energy at certain times of high activity levels. |
