Biomolecules · Class 12 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
Identify the incorrect statement from the following:
- a✓
Amylose is a branched chain polymer of glucose
- b
Starch is a polymer of
- c
-Glycosidic linkage makes cellulose polymer
- d
Glycogen is called as animal starch
Amylose is a branched chain polymer of glucose
Step 1: Polysaccharide Branching — Amylose is a long, unbranched linear molecule composed of glucose units. In contrast, amylopectin and glycogen are branched.
Step 2: Analyzing Other Statements — Starch is a polymer of , cellulose has -linkages, and glycogen is indeed known as animal starch. These are all correct.
Step 3: Incorrect Statement — Statement (a) mischaracterizes amylose as branched, making it the incorrect choice.
Key Point: Starch consists of both linear amylose and branched amylopectin.
