The glycosidic linkages present in branching poins of Amylopectin

A. β-1, 4 linkage

B. β-1, 6 linkage

C. α-1, 4 linkage

D. α-1, 6 linkage

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Amylopectin is a highly branched and high molecular weight macromolecule. It is a water-insoluble polysaccharide.
It contains α-1, 4-glycosidic bonds between two glucose units in the straight chain and α-1, 6-glycosidic bonds at the branching points.
