Amylose is a form of starch made up of α glucose monomers that are bound by 1-4 linkages. How would the molecule be affected if the subcomponents were joined by 1-6 linkages instead? Explain how this might affect the function of the resulting molecule. (5 points)

Answer:

It would become the same as another of starch component similar glycogen. Amylose as you mentioned have 1-4 bonds but glycogen have 1-6 bonds. Glycogen is more branched and this makes it less soluble in water. also it is used as a storage medium only and it is not easily digested. Just the level of complexity would have increased. solubility would have lessened
