Verified by Experts

Amylose is a straight chain polysaccharide having D-glucose units joined together by a-glycosidic linkages involving `C_(1)` of one glucose unit and `C_(4)` of the next glucose unit. On the other hand, cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide having D-glucose units joined by `beta`-glycosidic linkages between `C_(1)` of one glucose unit and `C_(4)` of the next glucose unit.
