Vedclass · Answer

(A) Amylose is a long unbranched chain of $\alpha-D$-glucose units held by $C_1-C_4$ glycosidic linkages. Amylopectin is a branched-chain polymer of $\alpha-D$-glucose units in which the main chain is formed by $C_1-C_4$ glycosidic linkages,while branching occurs by $C_1-C_6$ glycosidic linkages. Therefore,the correct statement is that amylopectin has both $1 \rightarrow 4$ $\alpha$-linkage and $1 \rightarrow 6$ $\alpha$-linkage.

The difference between amylose and amylopectin is
