Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R . Assertion A : Amylose is insoluble in water. Reason R : Amylose is a long linear molecule with more than 200 glucose units. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Step-by-step solution

Amylose is a polysaccharide used in various industries as a functional biomaterial. It is mainly a linear component consisting of about 100-10,000 glucose monomers linked by 1,4 alpha bindings. Amylose is a polymer that can be found in starch. It is a water-soluble component that accounts for 20 to 25% of starch. So, among the given two statements first statement is false and second statement is correct.
