Difference between basic structure of starch and cellulose
Answers

Both, cellulose and starch, has a linear structure of glucose monomers connected by glyosidic bonds (1-4 glycosidic bond = Carbon atom number 1 linked with Carbon atom number 4 of the next glucose monomer's).
The basic structural difference is whether the linkage is alpha or beta glycosidic bond.
(Alpha and beta denotes the spatial aspect of the bondage. Alpha bondage is below the plane, beta bondage is above the plane).
Cellulose is linked by beta-1-4 glycosidic bonds.
Starch is linked by alpha-1-4 glycosidic bonds.
