(v). synthesized during photosynthesis
The useful properties are:
1. | (i), (ii) and (v) | 2. | (i) and (v) |
3. | (ii) and (iii) | 4. | (ii) and (iv) |
The reducing end of the glycogen molecule:
1. is the end of the molecule containing a free carbon number one on glucose
2. are the end of the molecule other than containing a free carbon number one on glucose
3. are the ends of the alpha (1-6) branches
4. glycogen does not have a reducing end
I: | Cellulose does not contain complex helices. |
II: | Inulin is a polymer of fructose. |
