|
Amylose and Amylopectin

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Starch is composed of two types of polysaccharides: amylose, a linear (1–4) linked glucan, and the much larger amylopectin, an (1–4) linked glucan that contains around 5% (1–6) linkages resulting in a branched molecule [5].
Detailed explanation-2: -Chemically, starch consists of amylose and amylopectin in varying proportions, based on the nature of the starch itself, while both are polysaccharides made up of a large number of d-glucose molecules joined through alpha-type linkages.
