(a)
Interpretation:
The main structural difference between amylose and cellulose is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Glycosidic bond is the bond present between two monosaccharide molecules which are bonded together to form a disaccharide molecule. If both the monosaccharide molecules are connected through equatorial-equatorial or axial-axial positions, then the linkages present are alpha linkages and the sugars connected through axial-equatorial positions, then the linkage is beta linkage.
(b)
Interpretation:
The main structural difference between amylose and amylopectin is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Glycosidic bond is the bond present between two monosaccharide molecules which are bonded together to form a disaccharide molecule. If both the monosaccharide molecules are connected through equatorial-equatorial or axial-axial positions, then the linkages present are alpha linkages and the sugars connected through axial-equatorial positions, then the linkage is beta linkage.
(c)
Interpretation:
The main structural difference between amylopectin and glycogen is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Glycosidic bond is the bond present between two monosaccharide molecules which are bonded together to form a disaccharide molecule. If both the monosaccharide molecules are connected through equatorial-equatorial or axial-axial positions, then the linkages present are alpha linkages and the sugars connected through axial-equatorial positions, then the linkage is beta linkage.
(d)
Interpretation:
The main structural difference between cellulose and chitin is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Glycosidic bond is the bond present between two monosaccharide molecules which are bonded together to form a disaccharide molecule. If both the monosaccharide molecules are connected through equatorial-equatorial or axial-axial positions, then the linkages present are alpha linkages and the sugars connected through axial-equatorial positions, then the linkage is beta linkage.
