Answer 1

The words given are not clear, so the clear question is as follows:

Match the words below to the appropriate blanks in the sentences. Make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer:

A. β-1,4- and α-1,6-glycosidic

B. α-1,4-glycosidic

C. α-1,4-galactose

D. an unbranched glucose

E. a branched fructose

F. α-1,6-glycosidic

Amylose is ......... polymer of ....... units joined by ........ bonds.

Amylopectin is ....... polymer of .......units joined by ........ bonds.

Answer:

D. an unbranched glucose

C. α-1,4-galactose

B. α-1,4-glycosidic

E. a branched fructose

A. β-1,4- and α-1,6-glycosidic

F. α-1,6-glycosidic

Explanation:

Amylose and amylopectin are two types of polysaccharides that can be found in starch granules.

Amylose is linear or unbranched glucose polymer of α-1,4-galactose units that are joined by α-1,4-glycosidic.

Amylopectin is a branched fructose polymer of β-1,4- and α-1,6-glycosidic units joined by α-1,6-glycosidic bonds.

Hence, the correct answers in the sequential order are:

Amylose:

D. an unbranched glucose

C. α-1,4-galactose

B. α-1,4-glycosidic

Amylopectin:

E. a branched fructose

A. β-1,4- and α-1,6-glycosidic

F. α-1,6-glycosidic
