What is cellulose ? Give one difference between amylopectin and amylose.

A

Amylopectin have `1 to 4 alpha `-linkage and `1 to 6 beta`-linkage

B

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

C

Amylopectin have `1 to 4 alpha`-linkage and `1 to 6 alpha`-linkage

D

Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Amylose and Amylopectin are polymers of`alpha`-D-glucose , so `beta`-link is not possible. Amylose is linear with `1 to 4 alpha`-linkage whereas Amylopectin is branched and has both `1 to 4 and 1 to 6 alpha`-linkages
So option (3) should be the correct option
