Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Starch contains two components amylose and amylopectin. Chemically, amylose is a long unbranched chain with 200-1000
`alpha-D-(+)-` glucose units held by `C_(1)-C_(4)` glycosidic linkage.

Amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of `alpha-D-` glucose units in which chain is formed by `C_(1)-C_(4)` glycosidic linkage where branching occurs by `C_(1)-C_(6)` glycosidic linkage.
