Starch, glycogen, and cellulose are all polysaccharides composed of glucose units, but they differ in structure, linkage, and biological function. Starch, the primary energy storage in plants, consists of two components: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a mostly linear polymer with α-1,4-glycosidic bonds, forming a helical structure, whereas amylopectin is branched, with α-1,6-glycosidic linkages at branch points occurring roughly every 24–30 glucose units.
