Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason .
Assertion : Amylose is insoluble in water.
Reason : Amylose is a long linear molecule with more than glucose units.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Options
- ABoth and are correct and is the correct explanation of .
- BBoth and are correct and is NOT the correct explanation of .
- C is correct but is not correct.

Correct answer
D. is not correct but is correct.
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.
