Vedclass · Answer

(D) Amylopectin is a polysaccharide found in starch. It consists of a branched chain of glucose units linked by $\alpha-1,4$-glycosidic bonds in the linear segments and $\alpha-1,6$-glycosidic bonds at the branching points. Option $D$ is incorrect because amylopectin is branched, not linear. Glycogen is indeed structurally similar to amylopectin but more highly branched. Amylopectin constitutes about $80-85\%$ of starch, making it the major component.
