C$- OH$ on the fifth carbon is on the right side in Fischer projection
c Fisher gave the prefix $'D''$ to compounds whosebottom chiral hasits $OH$ to the right. So natural glucoseis called $D\,-$ glucose is called $D\,-$ glucose or dextrose.
Structure of $D\,-$ glucose :

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
