Question

Amylose differs from amylopectin in that amylose ________. Amylose differs from amylopectin in that amylose ________.

A. Forms a helix and no branch points
B. Is highly branched and amylopectin
C. is not Has more glucose residues than amylopectin
D. Has different monomers than amylopectin

Answer 1

Option A, Forms a helix and no branch points

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that amylose is a straight chain molecule, therefore it forms helix and consists of branching. This is the reason why amylose has no branch points.

However, amylopectin is a branched chain molecule polymer. The monomer unit in both amylose and amylopectin is glucose - D connected at 1, 4 carbon . The number of glucose molecules are higher in amylopectin than the amylose.

Hence out of all given options, option A is correct
