Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Glycogen is similar to amylose in its structure.
Statement II : Glycogen is found in yeast and fungi also.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below. [2024]

Chemically, amylose is a long unbranched chain with 200–1000 -D-(+)-glucose units held together by glycosidic linkage. Structure of glycogen is similar to amylopectin as it is a branched chain polymer of -D-glucose units in which chain is formed by glycosidic linkage whereas branching occurs by glycosidic linkage.
