QJEEM25Ch8c18: JEE Main 2025 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM25Ch8c18 Solution: Match List - I with List - II. List - I (Carbohydrate) List -…

In carbohydrates, different types of polysaccharides are characterized by specific types of glycosidic linkages:

Amylose is a linear polymer made up of $\alpha$ -D-glucose units linked by $\alpha$ - $C_1$ - $C_4$ glycosidic bonds primarily found in plants.

Cellulose is a structural component of plant cell walls composed of $\beta$ -D-glucose units linked by $\beta$ - $C_1$ - $C_4$ glycosidic bonds.

Glycogen is a highly branched storage polysaccharide in animals, consisting of $\alpha$ - $C_1$ - $C_4$ and $\alpha$ - $C_1$ - $C_6$ glycosidic linkages.

Amylopectin is a branched form of starch found in plants, containing $\alpha$ - $C_1$ - $C_4$ glycosidic bonds primarily, with some branching via $\alpha$ - $C_1$ - $C_6$ linkages.

Matching List-I with List-II:

(A) Amylose - (IV) $\alpha$ - $C_1 - C_4$ , plant

(B) Cellulose - (I) $\beta$ - $C_1 - C_4$ , plant

(C) Glycogen - (III) $\alpha$ - $C_1 - C_4$ , $\alpha$ - $C_1 - C_6$ , animal

(D) Amylopectin - (III) $\alpha$ - $C_1 - C_4$ , $\alpha$ - $C_1 - C_6$ , plant

The correct option is:

Option D:

(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
