Question

Starch is not a single material, but is regarded as a polysacchandei) Prove the statement.ii) Name the bond formed between the monomers of them.​

Answer 1

Answer:

because it contains several basic unit of glucose linked together ex-wheat, rice etc the bond form between them is triple bond

Answer 2

Answer:

starch is a homopolymer of glucose. because the same glucose unit is repeated many times. it has two components amylose and amylopectin

amylopectin has 2000 to 200000 glucose units and is branched component and has alpha1,6 glycosidic linkage

and amylose is unbranched component and has alpha1,4 glycosidic linkage.

starch is a secondary helical structure and these helices can hold i2 molecule which gives blue color.
