shrutipande9 · Answer

amylose is made by joining glucose molecules by $$\alpha(1-4)$$glycosidic bond.
Amylopectin /ˌæmɨloʊˈpɛktɨn/ is a soluble[1][2] polysaccharide and highly branched polymer of glucose found in plants. It is one of the two components of starch, the other being amylose.
Glucose units are linked in a linear way with α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Branching takes place with α(1→6) bonds occurring every 24 to 30 glucose
