Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The digestion of amylose and amylopectin produces glucose molecules. Amylose is a linear polymer of glucose while amylopectin is a branched polymer of glucose. Enzymes break down the alpha-1,4-glycosidic bonds in amylose and amylopectin resulting in the release of glucose monomers.
