A$${C}_{1}-{C}_{4}-\beta$$ linkage
B$${C}_{1}-{C}_{6}-\beta$$ linkage
C$${C}_{1}-{C}_{6}-\alpha$$ linkage
D$${C}_{1}-{C}_{4}-\alpha$$ linkage
Correct Answer

Solution

Answer:- (D) $${C}_{1}-{C}_{4}-\alpha$$ linkage Amylose is a long unbranched chain with 200-100 $$\alpha$$-D-(+)-glucose units held by $${C}_{1}-{C}_{4}$$ glycosidic linkage.
