Answer:

a) glycogen, starch, and amylopectin.

Explanation:

Amylase can only break polymers which have α glycosidic linkages between glucose monomers. Starch, glycogen and amylopectin they all are α polymers of glucose. Their description is mentioned as under:

<u>Starch: </u>

Amylose & amylopectin are 2 forms of starch. Amylose is a helical and unbranched polymer of glucose with α ( 1 → 4) linkage. ~ 15 % of starch exists in amylose form.

<u>Amylopectin:</u>

Amylopectin is a form of starch but it is branched and it has 2 types of linkages α ( 1 → 4) linkage & α ( 1 → 6) linkage. Almost 80-85 % of starch exists in this form.

<u>Glycogen:</u>

Glycogen is somehow similar to that of amylopectin with the only difference that it has more branching as compared to amylopectin.

Rest of the options include polymers which have β linkage like chitin & cellulose so those options are wrong.

How does a disturbance in the ability to synthesize collagen affect the body?
Maksim231197 [3]

The disturbance in the ability to synthesize collagen causes several effects like ageing, causes wrinkles, muscular and joint stiffness, frequent fatigue, lack of tonus etc.

Collagen is one of the major fibres found in the connective tissue with its functions of cohesion between organs and tissues and providing elasticity, and flexibility properties.

With decrease in collagen protein reduction of function, loss of elasticity and flexibility occurs.
