Are starches with a relatively large amount of amylose digested more quickly than those with amylopectin?
Enzymes are often substrate-specific, meaning they will only catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule. The difference in structure between amylose and amylopectin causes amylase to catalyze one and not the other.
Is startch a polysaccharide?
Starch is a storage polysaccharide. it is found in plants in the form of amylose and in the form of amylopectin.
What substance makes starch?
Starch is made up of amylose and amylopectin. Both of these are polymers of glucose molecules.
What are two polymers made by plants?
amylose and amylopectin
What is the simplest form of starch?
The two components of starch are amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a straight chain molecule made of glucose molecules joined by alpha 1-4 links. Amylopectin is a branched molecule made of glucose joined by alpha 1-4 links, with branches joined by alpha 1-6 links.
Why is amylopectin more compact than amylose?
Actually, amylose is more compact than amylopectin due to its helical structure. Amylose is unbranching and forms a compact helix, whereas amylopectin is a branching structure.
What fruit does have amylose and amylopectin?
potato
Is amylose branched?
No. only Amylopectin is
Flour amylose and amylopectin is a polymer of which subunit?
Amylase
What is the function of amylopectin?
It is used in the storage of starch along with amylose
What produces maltose during digestion?
Amylose and Amylopectin.
What does amylopectins do to starch?
Starch is a mixture of two types of polymers (or macromolecules) namely: Amylose and Amylopectin. Both polymers have a fairly large distribution of sizes, but are still made of glucose units. The main distinguishing factor between amylose and amylopectin is the amount of branching. Amylopectin is more branched than amylose (long chain polymer). So amylopectin is actually refering to starch molecules which are branched.
What is a name of a polysaccharides that produces maltose during digestion?
Amylose, Amylopectin
What are the proper names of the two types of molecules found in starch?
amylose and amylopectin
Can a dilute iodine solution be used to distinguish between amylose and amylopectin?
Hell nah

What are the names of the two polymers formed from alpha gluscose?
amylose (coiled unbranched) and amylopectin (Branched)
