The difference between amylose and amylopectin is

  • Amylopectin have 1 → 4 α-linkage and 1 → 6 α-linkage

  • Amylose have 1 → 4 α-linkage and 1 → 6 β-linkage

  • Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose

  • Amylopectin have 1 → 4 α-linkage and 1 → 6 β-linkage

Solution

A.

Amylopectin have 1 → 4 α-linkage and 1 → 6 α-linkage

In amylose the 1-4 glycosidic.

In amylopectin there is two linkage such as 1-6 glycosidic or 1-4 glycosidic.

Amylose and Amylopectin are polymers of α-D-glucose, so β link is not possible. Amylose is linear with 1 → 4 α-linkage whereas Amylopectin is branched and has both 1 → 4 and 1 → 6 α-linkages.
