Starch and glycogen are polysaccharides composed of glucose subunits. The most common glycosidic bonds of these polysaccharides are 1-6 and 1-4 glycosidic bonds.

  • The major structural difference between starch and glycogen is the amount of branching that occurs in the molecules (Option b).

  • In glycogen, these branches occur at intervals of 8 to 10 glucose monomers.

  • Amylose is the simplest starch form where all glucose subunits are connected in unbranched chains.

In conclusion, the major structural difference between starch and glycogen is the amount of branching that occurs in the molecules (Option b).
