Amylopectin is composed of:

Options

A $\beta - D -$ glucose $, {C}_{1} - {C}_{4}$ and ${C}_{1} - {C}_{6}$ linkages
B $\alpha - D -$ glucose, ${C}_{1} - {C}_{4}$ and ${C}_{2} - {C}_{6}$ linkages
C $\alpha - D -$ glucose, ${C}_{1} - {C}_{4}$ and ${C}_{1} - {C}_{6}$ linkages
D $\beta - D -$ glucose, ${C}_{1} - {C}_{4}$ and ${C}_{2} - {C}_{6}$ linkages

Correct answer

C. $\alpha - D -$ glucose, ${C}_{1} - {C}_{4}$ and ${C}_{1} - {C}_{6}$ linkages

Step-by-step solution

Amylopectin is insoluble in water and constitutes about 80-85% starch.
Amylopectin is composed of:

Amylopectin is a water-soluble polysaccharide and highly branched polymer of a-glucose units found in plants. It is one of the two components of starch, the other being amylose. Amylopectin bears a straight/linear chain along with a number of side chains which may be branched further.
