Explanation / Answer

Amylopectin which is produced in plants, is a branched polymer of glucose joined by a -1,4 and -1,6-glycosidic bonds. The branches in amylopectin occur about every 25 monosaccharide units.

Glycogen which is produced in animals, is a branched polymer of glucose joined by a -1,4 and -1,6-glycosidic bonds. The branches in amylopectin occur about every 10 to 15 monosaccharide units.

Amylopectin & glycogen are similar in structure except the glycogen is more heavily branched than the amylopectin.
