(a)
Interpretation:
It is to be identified and classified each glycosidic linkage in a given portion of the polysaccharide of an arabinoxylan.
Concept introduction:
The glycoside linkage is part of an acetal function group, in which a carbon atom is attached to the two alkoxy groups (OR). The polysaccharide which is used to store energy is called a storage polysaccharide e.g. starch and glycogen and other polysaccharide are responsible for maintaining the structure of the organism are called structural polysaccharide e.g. cellulose. In a six-membered ring sugar, when the bond between the acetal carbon and OR is axial is characterized as
(b)
Interpretation:
It is to be explained arabinoxylan functions as a storage polysaccharide or a structural polysaccharide on the basis of its structure.
