- Formed from many a-glucose are bonded together
- Only 1,4-glycosidic bonds are involved
- Results in a helical structure as the a-glucose join at slighly different angles to one another
AMYLOPECTIN
- 1,4 linked a-glocose chain with a-1,6 glycosidic bond causing branches every 24-30 glucose units
GLYCOGEN
- Found in the liver and muscle cells of animals
