Glycogen is a branched chain polymer of $\alpha -D$ -glucose units in which chain is formed by $C_1-C_4$ glycosidic linkage whereas branching occurs by the formation of $C_1-C_6$ glycosidic linkage. Structure of glycogen is similar to

Amylopectin
b Amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of $a-D$ glucose units. Here, the linear chains are formed by $C _1- C _4$ glycosidic linkage whereas branching occurs by the formation of $C _1- C 6$ glycosidic linkage. Thus, structure of glycogen is similar to amylopectin.
