Question

Amylopectin is composed of :

• A. $\alpha$-D-glucose, $C_1-C_4$ and $C_1-C_6$ linkages
• B. $\alpha$-D-glucose,$C_1-C_4$ and $C_2-C_6$ linkages
• C. $\beta$-D-glucose, $C_1-C_4$ and $C_2-C_6$ linkages
• D. $\beta$-D-Glucose, $C_1-C_4$ and $C_1-C_6$ linkages

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\alpha$-D-glucose, $C_1-C_4$ and $C_1-C_6$ linkages

Answer 2

Amylopetcin is a homopolymer of $\alpha$-D-glucose where $C_1-C_4$ linkage and $C_1 - C_6$ linkage are present.
