Question

question
which of the following types of bonds connect the glucose monomers in starch? select the best choice.
select the correct answer below:
α - 1 - 4 glycosidic bonds
α - 1 - 6 glycosidic bonds
both a and b
neither a nor b

Explanation:

Starch is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomers. It has two main components: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a linear chain of glucose molecules connected by α - 1 - 4 glycosidic bonds. Amylopectin is a branched chain. The linear part of amylopectin has α - 1 - 4 glycosidic bonds, and the branches are formed by α - 1 - 6 glycosidic bonds. So, glucose monomers in starch are connected by both α - 1 - 4 and α - 1 - 6 glycosidic bonds.

Answer:

C. both A and B
