Amylopectin is 80% of digestible starches and has a highly branched structure.

Solución

The correct answers are: • makes up 80% of the digestible starches in foods • has a highly branched structure Amylopectin is one of the two main components of starch (the other being amylose) and is known for its branched structure, which allows it to be digested more quickly than the more linear amylose.

Beyond the Answer

Amylopectin makes up about 80% of the digestible starches in foods, providing a quick source of energy for our bodies. Its highly branched structure allows enzymes to access its glucose units more easily, meaning that it's digested faster than amylose, its non-branched counterpart. While amylopectin contributes to the overall starch content and plays a role in our diets, it does not include fiber or glycogen. Fiber is typically found in plant cell walls, while glycogen is the form of carbohydrate storage in animals. So, while they're all carbs, they each have their own specific functions!
