Amylose is a long, unbranched chain of alpha-glucose that coils helically due to glycosidic bond angles, making it compact and efficient for storage.
Amylose is a long, unbranched chain of alpha-glucose, with glycosidic bond angles creating a helical coil that makes it compact and suitable for storage.
