The glycosidic linkage involved in linking the glucose units in amylose part of starch is
- A \( \mathrm{C}_{1}-\mathrm{C}_{4} \beta\) - linkage
- B \( C_{1}-C_{6} \alpha- \) linkage
- C \( C_{1}-C_{6} \beta \) - linkage
- D \( C_{1}-C_{4} a- \) linkage
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \( C_{1}-C_{4} a- \) linkage
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Amylose is a long unbranched chain with 200-1000 \( \alpha-(4)-(+) \) glucose units held by C1-C4 glycosidic linkage.
