Solution

Verified by Toppr

Amylose is a straight-chain polymer of D-glucose units.

The bonding involved is $1 \to 4 α -$ linkage. Amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.

The bonding involved is $1 \to 4 α$ - linkage and $1 \to 6 α$ - linkage.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
