• A) Cellulose is composed of D-glucose, whereas starch is composed of L-glucose.
• B) Cellulose and starch are connected together on different carbons.
• C) Cellulose is composed of L-glucose, whereas starch is composed of D-glucose.
• D) Cellulose has a β-(1→4)linkage, whereas starch has an α-(1→4)linkage.
• E) Starch has a β-(1→4)linkage, whereas cellulose has an α-(1→4)linkage.
