The difference between amylose and amylopectin is

(1)Amylopectin have -linkage and -linkage
(2)Amylose have -linkage and -linkage
(3)Amylopectin have -linkage and -linkageCorrect
(4)Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose

Answer: (3)

Solution

Starch consists of two polysaccharides, both built only from -D-glucose units: amylose is an unbranched chain with -1,4-glycosidic linkages only, while amylopectin is branched, with -1,4 linkages in the chains and -1,6 linkages at the branch points. So the
