Detailed explanation-1: -Experimental studies have shown that amylose chains make helical structures in single and double-stranded polymorphs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because of its tightly packed helical structure, amylose is more resistant to digestion than other starch molecules and is therefore an important form of resistant starch.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference is the anomeric configureration: amylose’s glucose units are linked with glycosidic bonds, whereas cellulose’s monomeric units are linked by glycosidic bonds. This different kind of bonding causes amylose to form helical structures and cellulose to form straight polymer chains.
