Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Step-by-step explanation
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.
