Summary Introduction

To explain:- The reasons for different properties shared between cellulose and starch made up of the same repeating subunits.

Introduction: Starch and cellulose are polymers of made up of repeating subunits of D-glucose. Cellulose is made up of β 1-4 linkage present in the repeating subunits of D-glucose while starch is made up of α 1-4 linkage present in the repeating subunits of D glucose.
