Starch is a mixture of two types of polymers (or macromolecules) namely: Amylose and Amylopectin. Both polymers have a fairly large distribution of sizes, but are still made of glucose units. The main distinguishing factor between amylose and amylopectin is the amount of branching. Amylopectin is more branched than amylose (long chain polymer). So amylopectin is actually refering to starch molecules which are branched.
