As we learnt that

Starch -

A polymer of alpha-D-glucose that consists of having two components , amylose ( water soluble unbranched chain ) and amylopectin ( water insoluble having branched chain)

- wherein

Main storage polysaccharide of plants

Amylose :  alpha , 1-4 glycosidic linkage 

Amylopectin :  alpha ,1,4 linkage and alpha ,1,6 linkage

 

 Amylopectin form straight chain due t 1,4 linkage and branching occur due to 1, 6 - linkage.

 


Option 1)

Amylopectin have 1\rightarrow4 \alpha-linkage and
\rightarrow 6 \beta - linkage        

 

This is correct.

Option 2)

Amylose have 1\rightarrow4 \alpha-linkage and
\rightarrow 6 \beta - linkage        

This is incorrect.

Option 3)

Amylopectin have 1\rightarrow4 \alpha-linkage and
\rightarrow 6 \alpha- linkage             

 

This is incorrect.

Option 4)

Amylose    is    made up of glucose and galactose

 

This is incorrect.
