Is starch present in Guava?
Of course. Starch is the storage molecule of almost all plants.
Does a molecule of starch have more stored energy than a glucose molecule and why?
yes - starch is a larger molecule (with more bonds holding atoms together, so it has more energy) because it is a polymer of glucose. Glucose is one ring of carbons and starch is a chain of these.
What starch molecule that produces a thinner paste?
The starch molecule that produces a thinner paste is called amylopectin. Amylopectin is a soluble polysaccharide that is commonly found in plants.
