    Starch is a homopolysaccharide composed of glucose units linked by alpha 1-4 and alpha 1-6 glycosidic bonds. It is composed of repeating glucose monomers that are stored in plants such as potatoes and rice. The first carbon of one glucose molecule links to the fourth carbon of another glucose molecule via an alpha 1-4 bond or to the sixth carbon of a branched glucose via an alpha 1-6 bond through the removal of a water molecule.

    Original Description:

    It is a small introduction about Starch and chemical structure

    Chemistry/structure
    - One glucose is joined by another glucose by alpha 1-4, one glucose is joined by another
    branched glucose by alpha 1-6.
    - First carbon of glucose linked with fourth carbon of other glucose with removal of water
    from glycosidic bond. First carbon of glucose linked with sixth carbon of another glucose
    with removal of water from glycosidic bond.
