(a)
Interpretation: The validation about the amylose form of starch being a homopolysaccharide has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: A
(b)
Interpretation: The validation about the amylose 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.
