B

Amylose have `1 rarr 4 alpha-` linkage and `1 rarr 6 beta-` linkage

C

Amylopectin have `1 rarr 4 alph - ` linkage and `1 rarr 6 beta -` linkage

D

Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Amylose is long unbranched chain with `alpha-D-`Glucose with held by `C_(1)-C_(4)` glycosidic linkage whereas amylopectin is branched chain polymer of `alpha-D` glucose unit in which chain is formed by `C_(1)-C_(4)` glycosidic linkage while branching occurs by `C_(1)-C_(6)` glucosidic linkage.
