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

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

D

Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Amylose `implies` Made of `alpha -D(+)` glucose showing only `C_1 - C_4` glycosidic linkage
It is linear and unbranched, constitutes 15 - 20% of starch.
Amylopectin `implies` Made of `alpha-D(+)` glucose showing `C_1 - C_4` glycosidic linkage and `C_1 - C_6` glycosidic linkage during branching
It is non – linear and branched.
