Which one is soluble in hot water_____________?

Correct answer: C. Amylose

  • A. Starch
  • B. Glycogen
  • C. Amylose
  • D. Amylopectin.

Explanation

Amylose, the mostly unbranched component of starch, can dissolve in hot water and forms a colloidal solution. Students may choose amylopectin because it is also a component of starch, but its extensive branching makes it much less soluble in hot water than amylose.
