Question
Chapter 21, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The a-Amylose is an unbranched glucose
Concept introduction:
Amylose is a form of starch containing unbranched chains of glucose monomers linked by a 1-4 glycosidic bonds. The storage form of glucose is glycogen, a polymer of glucose having branches at every ten residues. Glycogen can be broken down to yield glucose molecules when energy is required.
