Question:

The difference between amylose and amylopectin is _________. Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose. Amylose have 1→4 α-linkage and 1→6 β-linkage. Amlyopetin have 1→4 α-linkage and 1→6 α-linkage. Amlyopetin have 1→4 α-linkage and 1→6 β-linkage.

Amlyopetin have 1→4 α-linkage and 1→6 β-linkage

Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose

Amlyopetin have 1→4 α-linkage and 1→6 α-linkage

Amylose have 1→4 α-linkage and 1→6 β-linkage

Solution:

Amylose is a straight-chain polymer of D-glucose units. The bonding involved is 1→4 α-linkage. Amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units. The bonding involved is 1→4 α-linkage and 1→6 α-linkage. Hence, the correct answer is option B.
