- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
Option B is correct. In glucose, if OH group is present downward then it will be alpha carbon and if OH group is present is upward then it will be beta carbon. Hence in given digram OH group is present downward and there is starch so it will be alpha starch.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
