How many carbon atoms are there in starch and cellulose?

Both starch and cellulose are polysaccharides composed of glucose units, which each contain six carbon atoms. The number of carbon atoms in a starch or cellulose molecule varies depending on the number of glucose units linked together; for example, a starch molecule can have hundreds to thousands of glucose units, resulting in a corresponding number of carbon atoms. Thus, the total number of carbon atoms in starch and cellulose depends on the specific structure and length of each polymer.
