MHT CET 2024 Chemistry question

Identify glycosidic linkages for formation of chain and branches respectively in amylopectin

(A) and
(B) and
(C) and
(D) and Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Starch consists of amylose and amylopectin, both made of -D-glucose units. Amylopectin is a branched polymer: the main chain is built by -1,4-glycosidic linkages (C1 of one glucose to C4 of the next), and the branches originate from -1,6-glycosidic
