Final answer:

Amylose has a-1,4-glycosidic bonds, while both amylopectin and glycogen have a-1,6-glycosidic bonds in addition to a-1,4-glycosidic bonds.


Explanation:

Amylose contains a-1,4-glycosidic bonds, making it a linear chain of a-D-glucose units. On the other hand, amylopectin has both a-1,4- and a-1,6-glycosidic bonds, with the branch points linked through a-1,6-linkages. Glycogen also contains branch points that are linked through a-1,6-linkages.
