Vedclass · Answer

(C) Amylose is a linear polymer of $\alpha-D-(+)$-glucose units linked by $\alpha-1,4$-glycosidic linkages. It is water-soluble and constitutes about $15-20 \%$ of starch. Amylopectin,on the other hand,is a highly branched polymer of $\alpha-D-(+)$-glucose units. Therefore,the statement that amylose is a highly branched polymer is incorrect.
