(a)
Interpretation:
To state the polysaccharide that fits best in the given description.
Concept Introduction:
A polysaccharide refers to a polymer that is made up of many monosaccharide units that are joined together through special type of linkage known as glycosidic linkage. Four of the most important biologically important polysaccharides are amylopectin, amylose, cellulose and glycogen. These all are the

Four of the most important biologically important polysaccharides are amylopectin, amylose, cellulose and glycogen. These all are the polymers made up of D- glucose units and they only differ in the amount of branching they exhibit and the type of glycosidic linkage which is present in their structures.

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forwardPLEASE HELP ! URGENT!arrow_forward
