Answer 2

Amylopsin acts upon "Polysaccharide in alkaline medium".

Option - C

Explanation:

• Amylopsin is pancreatic amylase which hydrolises polysaccharides (except cellulose) into disaccharides (mostly maltose) in alkaline medium.  

            $(6H_{11}O_{5}) n+ nH_{2}O \rightarrow$ Amylopsin$(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11})n$

• Acidic polysaccharides are polysaccharides containing carboxyl groups (e.g., pectin) and/or sulfuric ester groups (e.g., carrageenan).
• "Low methyl ester pectin" can respond with calcium ions to form gel, even below relative more pH environment.
• Three acute polysaccharides, starch, glycogen are possessed of glucose.
• Starch and glycogen serve as small-term energy preserves in plants and animals. The "glucose monomers" are linked by $\alpha$ glycosidic bond.
