Q885
The glycosidic linkages present in branching poins of Amylopectin
A.
β-1, 4 linkage
B.
β-1, 6 linkage
C.
α-1, 4 linkage
D.
α-1, 6 linkage
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Amylopectin is a highly branched and high molecular weight macromolecule. It is a water-insoluble polysaccharide.It contains α-1, 4-glycosidic bonds between two glucose units in the straight chain and α-1, 6-glycosidic bonds at the branching points.
