Glucose can be linked together to form both cellulose and starch due to variations in the type of glycosidic bonds formed between glucose monomers: while cellulose consists of β(1→4) glycosidic bonds that create long, straight chains, starch is composed of α(1→4) (and α(1→6) for branching) glycosidic bonds, leading to a helical structure that is more branched.
