The document discusses carbohydrates starch and glycogen. It explains that starch is a mixture of amylose and amylopectin, both made of glucose units. Amylose is a linear chain that coils, taking an iodine molecule. Amylopectin is a branched chain. Glycogen is the animal storage carbohydrate, similar in structure to amylopectin.
