(a)
Interpretation: The validation about the amylopectin form of starch being a homopolysaccharide has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: A
(b)
Interpretation: The validation about the amylopectin form of starch that it contains two different types of monosaccharide molecules has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: A polymer in which many monosaccharide units are joined together by glycosidic linkages is known as a polysaccharide. Starch is a storage polysaccharide found in plant cells. Starch contains two different polyglucose polysaccharides: amylose and amylopectin.
(c)
Interpretation: The validation about the amylopectin form of starch that it is a

Beta-glycosidic bonds are found in starch, glycogen and chitin b. Beta-glycosidic bonds are found in cellulose and chitin C. alpha-glycosidic bonds are found in starch and glycogen d. alpha-glycosidic bonds are found in chitin and cellulose O b,c.d O a, b, c, d а, d a,b, darrow_forwardCopper ions present in Benedict’s reagent react with the free end of any reducing sugars, such as glucose, when heated. Originally blue in color, these copper ions are reduced by the sugar and produce an orange-red colored precipitate. Alternatively, iodine-potassium iodide (IKI) may also be used when working with starch. IKI contains special tri-iodine ions which interact with the coiled structure of a starch polymer. Prior to a reaction, the IKI displays a yellow-brown color; however, after reacting with starch, a dark purple or black color is presented. The molecule pictured below produced a blue color when tested with Benedict’s reagent, a yellow color when tested with IKI, and a violet color when tested with Biuret reagent. Based on the structure shown below and these chemical results, what kind of biomolecule is this?arrow_forward
