Amylopectin is easer for enzymes to get around and break it down.
Amylose is a long unbranced chain of glucose, it has a cylinder like structure wich makes it compact so its good for storage.
Amylopectin is a long branched chain of glucose, its structure is a benifit because enzymes that break glycosidic bonds to break down the moleclue get to it faster. This means glucose is released faster.
Junctions between saccharide molecules are called glycoside bonds. This not only includes mono saccharides to form disaccharides but also many to form polysaccharides like amylopectin and amylose found in the starch of plants and glycogen in animals.
An amylose is the soluble form of starch which is a linear polymer of glucose.
When Iodine is added to amylose, the helical shape of the unbranched polysaccharide traps Iodine molecules, producing a deep blue-black complex. Amylopectin, cellulose, and Glycogen react with iodine to give red to brown colors. Glycogen produces a reddish-purple color.
less intensively purple to red
what is the difference between elevation and leaching
Enzymes are often substrate-specific, meaning they will only catalyze a reaction with a certain molecule. The difference in structure between amylose and amylopectin causes amylase to catalyze one and not the other.
Actually, amylose is more compact than amylopectin due to its helical structure. Amylose is unbranching and forms a compact helix, whereas amylopectin is a branching structure.

No. only Amylopectin is
Hell nah
Starch is a mixture of two types of polymers (or macromolecules) namely: Amylose and Amylopectin. Both polymers have a fairly large distribution of sizes, but are still made of glucose units. The main distinguishing factor between amylose and amylopectin is the amount of branching. Amylopectin is more branched than amylose (long chain polymer). So amylopectin is actually refering to starch molecules which are branched.
Amylose is type of starch which is unbranched. Consisting 1-4 Alfa glycosidic linkage. It is not easy to digested and takes less space than amylopectin. Amylopectin is branched and consisting 1 alfa 1-6 linkage per 30 alfa 1-6 linkage. It is similar to glycogen expecting lower level of branching.
Amylase
It is used in the storage of starch along with amylose
