Detailed Solution

Both starch and cellulose contain a large number of D(+) glucose units. Starch consists of two
components (a) amylose, which is a linear polymer and (b) amylopectin which is a branched polymer, but in both the α -D-glucose units are linked through α -glycosidic linkage between C1 of one glucose with C4 of next glucose unit. Cellulose is only a linear polymer of β -D-glucose units joined through β - glycosidic linkage between C1 of one glucose with C4 of next glucose unit.
