- ABoth and are correct and is the correct explanation of .
- BBoth and are correct and is NOT the correct explanation of .
- Cis correct but is not correct.
- Correct answerDis not correct but is correct.
Solution
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.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
