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.

Why is starch phosphorylase not involved in vivo starch anabolism?

Starch phosphorylase is primarily involved in starch degradation by catalyzing the conversion of starch to glucose. In vivo starch anabolism involves the synthesis of starch molecules from glucose, which is carried out by enzymes like starch synthase and starch branching enzyme. Therefore, starch phosphorylase is not directly involved in the biosynthesis of starch in living systems.
