$\huge\tt\colorbox{white}{AnsweR}$

The difference between alpha and beta glucose is nothing more than the position of one of the four -OH groups. ... If the -OH group attached to it is below the ring, the molecule is alpha glucose. If the -OH group is above the ring, the molecule is beta glucose.

Answer 2

Answer:

They differ only in the direction that -H and -OH groups point on carbon 1 (See the jmol images below). When alpha-glucose molecules are joined chemically to form a polymer starch is formed. When beta-glucose molecules are joined to form a polymer cellulose is formed.
