Out of the given below statements describing the characteristics of various biomolecules, option for the incorrect one

  • Fatty acids have hydrocarbon chains that end in a carboxylic group

  • Starch consist of amylose and glycogen, which are formed by the condensation of α-D-glucose.

  • Cellulose is fibrous polysaccharide of high tensile strength.

  • Cutin is a complex lipid produced by cross-esterification and polymerisation of hydroxy fatty acids.

Solution

B.

Starch consist of amylose and glycogen, which are formed by the condensation of α-D-glucose.

Starch consist of two components amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is more soluble in water than amylopectin. They both are formed by the condensation of α-D-glucose or pyranose forms.
