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

Ok, i am doing organic chem. for first time

Explanation:

if there are 1, 6 linkages then it won't be called amylose, it now becomes glycogen. Now it is a bit less soluble

Carbohydrates usually function as energy storage or structural materials, and are composed of monosaccharides (simple sugars). All monosaccharides have three carbon atoms with a carbonyl group attached to one of the carbons, and hydroxyl groups attached to the remaining two. Monosaccharides are the primary fuel for metabolic processes, so we need the monosaccharides in carbohydrates to fuel our metabolic processes, making it an important part of our diet. If the subcomponents were joined by 1-6 linkages instead of 1-4 linkages, it wouldn't be called amylose, it would change to glycogen, making it less soluble. 

ans.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
