Starches are carbohydrates. Starch in plants is like glycogen in animals: it is the storage form of carbohydrates. Starches are large chains of glucose molecules. Complex carbohydrates are primarily starches, while simple carbohydrates are sugars. So, you get starch when you consume complex carbohydrates.
from grains and starchy vegetables like potatoes
From the seeds,of course!(^-^)/
yes potatooes
starch
A leaf needs light energy to photosynthesise. The way it can obtain this energy is from a light source, and the dark has no light sources-so the leaf cannot obtain light energy, it cannot photosynthesise. This process involves producing starch (as glucose is made, then converted into starch) and so no photosynthesis=no starch.
Potatoes mainly contain Starch and water but some minerals and salts are also constituents of potatoes.
There is a company that offers a very popular low starch diet (Jenny Craig) and if you go to the main website, you can find inromation on the diet, and how to obtain it.
It is broken down using enzymes, such as amylase, into glucose which then can be used in cell respiration.
plants produce glucose because it is there source of food for energy
Because glucose is such an important molecule from which organisms obtain energy, plants and animals will string together units of glucose called polysaccharides. Plants store glucose as a polysaccharide called starch.
in the form of starch
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.
Corn starch is a souluble starch.
