Question

Amylopectin is a ________ polymer of D-Dglucose units in which chain is formed by

_______ glycosidic linkage whereas branching

occurs by ________ glycosidic linkage.

a. branched chain, C1– C6, C1– C4.

b. branched chain, C1– C4, C1– C6.

c. unbranched chain, C1– C4, C1– C6.

d. unbranched chain, C1– C6, C1– C4​

Answer 1

Answer:

Amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of α-D glucose units. Here, the linear chains are formed by C1—C4 glycosidic linkage whereas branching occurs by the formation of C1-C6 glycosidic linkage. Thus, structure of glycogen is similar to amylopectin
