| III: | Left end of glycogen is the reducing end |
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct
| Statement I: | Iodine test can detect the presence of starch but not of cellulose in a given sample. |
| Statement II: | Starch forms helical secondary structure and can hold iodine molecules while cellulose does not contain complex helices and hence cannot hold iodine. |
