Soluble starch is a partially hydrolyzed (mostly by acid hydrolysis) starch, therefore it actually is a long-chain dextran.
Glucose monomers
When the starch is broken down, or hydrolyzed, the end product is glucose molecules.
The enzyme that hydrolyzes starch the fastest is the amylase enzyme. This enzyme breaks down the starch until there is only sugar left.

corn starch
Starch is easily hydrolyzed, as in human mouth ans small intestine .

STARCH AND FIBER
Glucose monomers
As part of photosynthesis, plants make sugar. This is transformed into the more solid starches (the polysaccharides amylose and amylopectin) using glycosidic bonds, similar to those that form glycogen in animal metabolism. These bonds are easily hydrolyzed to release the glucose.

These bonds are easily hydrolyzed to release the glucose. Potatoes are storing food in their tuber roots to last the winter.Heating a potato breaks down some of the starch into pyrodextrins, which are darker in color. Cooking the starch makes it more easily digested.

they are all glycosidic bonds. in cellulose they are bonded so the sugars flip after every bond like a zig zag. in amylose it forms a right handed helix. in amylopectin it forms a right handed helix with a lot of branches (make it less soluble than amylose) Also Cellulose bonds are not hydrolyzed by human enzymes.
