The difference between amylose and amylopectin is
- A Amylopectin have \(1 \rightarrow 4 \alpha\) -linkage and \(1 \rightarrow 6\alpha\) -linkage
- B Amylose have \(1 \rightarrow 4 \alpha\)-linkage and \(1 \rightarrow 6\beta\)-linkage
- C Amylopectin have \(1 \rightarrow 4 \alpha\) -linkage and \(1 \rightarrow 6 \beta-\)linkage
- D Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Amylopectin have \(1 \rightarrow 4 \alpha\) -linkage and \(1 \rightarrow 6\alpha\) -linkage
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Amylose is long unbranched chaln with \(\alpha-\mathrm{D}\) - Glucose with held by \(\mathrm{C}_{1}-\mathrm{C}_{4}\) glucosidic linkage whereas amylopectin is branched chain polymer of \(\alpha -D\) glucose unit in which chain is formed by \(\mathrm{C}_{1}-\mathrm{C}_{4}\) glycosidic linkage while branching occurs by \(\mathrm{C}_{1}-\mathrm{C}_{6}\) glucosidic linkage.
