(B) Cellulose
(C) Glycogen
(D) Amylopectin
List - II: (I) \( \beta \)-C1-C4 plant
(II) \( \alpha \)-C1-C4 animal
(III) \( \alpha \)-C1-C4 \( \alpha \)-C1-C6 plant
(IV) \( \alpha \)-C1-C4 plant
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. \( {(A)-(IV)}, {(B)-(II)}, {(C)-(III)}, {(D)-(I)} \)
• B. \( {(A)-(IV)}, {(B)-(I)}, {(C)-(III)}, {(D)-(II)} \)
• C. \( {(A)-(III)}, {(B)-(II)}, {(C)-(I)}, {(D)-(IV)} \)
• D. \( {(A)-(IV)}, {(B)-(I)}, {(C)-(III)}, {(D)-(II)} \)

Hint:

In polysaccharides, the types of linkages (such as \( \alpha \)-C1-C4, \( \beta \)-C1-C4) determine their structure and function. Polysaccharides with \( \alpha \)-linkages are typically used for energy storage, while those with \( \beta \)-linkages are used for structural support.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Amylase: This is a polysaccharide found in plants, with \( \alpha \)-1,4 and \( \alpha \)-1,6 linkages between glucose units, so the correct linkage type is \( \alpha \)-C1-C4 plant (IV). 
- Cellulose: Cellulose is a polysaccharide made of \( \beta \)-1,4 linkages, commonly found in plants, so the correct linkage is \( \beta \)-C1-C4 plant (I). 
- Glycogen: Glycogen is a polysaccharide found in animals, consisting of \( \alpha \)-1,4 and \( \alpha \)-1,6 linkages between glucose units, so the correct linkage is \( \alpha \)-C1-C4 \( \alpha \)-C1-C6 plant (III). 
- Amylopectin: Similar to glycogen, it is found in plants and is made of \( \alpha \)-1,4 and \( \alpha \)-1,6 linkages, so the correct linkage is \( \alpha \)-C1-C4 plant (II). Thus, the correct answer is (2).
