The difference between amylose and amylopectin is
Explanation
Amylopectin is branched with $\alpha(1\rightarrow6)$ links in addition to $\alpha(1\rightarrow4)$.
Detailed Solution
Amylose and amylopectin are polymers of $\alpha$-D-glucose, so a $\beta$-link is not possible.
Amylose is linear with $1\rightarrow4\ \alpha$-linkage whereas amylopectin is branched and has both $1\rightarrow4$ and $1\rightarrow6\ \alpha$-linkages.
