Cellulose is a biopolymer that is built by beta 1, 6 linkage between the glucose residues. The molecule that resembles it most closely is chitin that has N acetylglucosamine, that is the glucose aminocylated at 2' carbon. In hemicellulose, there is a backbone of glucose and there are side chains of some other glucose residues. Starch and glycogen are also made up of the glucose residues but they are linked by alpha 1-4 linkage.
