In amylose \(\mathrm{\alpha-D}\) glucose units are linked to one another through \(\mathrm{\alpha}\)-glycosidic linkage involving \(\mathrm{\mathrm{C}_{1}}\) of one glucose unit with \(\mathrm{\mathrm{C}_{4}}\) of the other glucose unit.

Assertion : Starch contains \(20 \%\) amylose and \(80 \%\) amylopectin. Reason : In starch, the glucose units are linked by \(\beta\)-linkages.
1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
Explanation:
In starch, the glucose units are linked to one another by \(\alpha\)-glycosidic linkages. So, option (3) is correct.
