Difference Between Alpha Glucose And Beta Glucose
In organic chemistry, the principle difference between amylose (from starch) and cellulose is:?
A) amylose has exclusively alpha(1,4)-linked glucose and cellulose has exclusively beta(1,4)-linked glucose
B) amylose has exclusively alpha(1,6)-linked glucose and cellulose has beta(1,4)-linked glucose
C) amylose has alpha(1,4)-linked glucose with alpha(1,6)-branches and cellulose has exclusively beta(1,4)-linked glucose.
D) amylose has exclusively alpha(1,4)-linked glucose and cellulose has beta(1,4)-linked glucose with alpha(1,6) branches
The answer is definitely one of those four. It took me all of 5 seconds to find it on Wikipedia
