**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Starch Composition**: Starch is a polysaccharide that serves as an important carbohydrate source in both plants and animals. It is primarily found in seeds and is a major food source. 2. **Identifying the Polymers**: Starch is composed of two main polymers: - **Amylose**: This is a linear polymer made up of D-glucose units connected by alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkages. - **Amylopectin**: This is a branched polymer that also consists of D-glucose units. In addition to the alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkages found in amylose, amylopectin contains alpha-1,6-glycosidic linkages which create its branched structure. ...
