Which of the following statements accurately describes amylose?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amylose releases glucose at a slower rate than other starches. This is because the structure of the amylose molecule consists of a linear chain of glucose molecules, which makes it harder for enzymes to break down and release glucose. This slower release of glucose can be beneficial for people with diabetes, as it helps to regulate blood sugar levels.

The other statements are untrue: 
B) The amylose chain is coiled. 
C) Amylose is composed of linear chains of glucose molecules. 
D) Amylose is not highly branched like amylopectin. 
E) False, as statement A is true.
