Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Glycogen
Concept:

Energy storage molecules differ structurally between the plant and animal kingdoms.

Solution:

  • Animals synthesize and store glycogen as their primary short-term energy reserve carbohydrate, sequestering it mainly within hepatocytes (liver cells) and myocytes (muscle cells).


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Starch: The storage polysaccharide of plants.


  • Cellulose: The structural polysaccharide of plant cell walls.


  • Sucrose: A transport disaccharide synthesized exclusively in plants.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
