Options

A. Amylopectin have `1 to 4 alpha` -linkage and `1 to 6 alpha`-linkage
B. Amylose have ` 1 to 4 alpha`-linkage and ` 1 to 6 beta`-linkage
C. Amylopecting have ` 1 to 4alpha`-linkage and `1 to 6 beta`-linkage
D. Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose

Answer

A

Explanation

Amylose is long unbranched chain with `alpha`-D-glucose with held by `C_(1)-C_(4)` glucosidic 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
