An mylopectin is a variety of highly branched, insoluble 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.
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.
Cellulose mainly consists of beta-glucose monomers, unlike starch which is an alpha-glucose polymer.

yes it is.
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.
Amylopectin is a branch-chain polymer of glucose and is the main component of starch. It provides a readily available source of energy for the body as it can be broken down quickly into glucose. Amylopectin also helps to store energy in plants in the form of starch granules.

No. only Amylopectin is
The starch molecule that produces a thinner paste is called amylopectin. Amylopectin is a soluble polysaccharide that is commonly found in plants.

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.
Amylase
It is used in the storage of starch along with amylose
Amylose and Amylopectin.
