Starch consist of two types of natural polymers.NamelyAmylopectinAmyloseAmylopectin is water soluble but Amylose is water insoluble.this is reason why starch don't dissolve in water
if we dissolve a starch in water it forms a colloidal solution and the particle size is much larger to completely dissolve in water
Starch cannot dissolve in cold water, however boiling water has sufficient enough energy to dissolve starch.
In a cell, both starch and glycogen do not dissolve in water which is why they both are used for storage of energy. Whereas if glucose was stored in a cell as free molecules, the glucose would dissolve and reduce the water potential, not store the glucose.
cellulose is not water soluble, starch is water soluble.
Water is added to the mixture and the mixture is filtered. Sucrose which can dissolve in water passes through the filter but starch and cellulose which do not dissolve, remain as residue. Starch is hydrolyzed to glucose, which will then dissolve in water. Filtration of the above mixture will leave cellulose as the residue.

no, corn starch cannot dissolve in water. The grains (particles) that are in the cornstarch are "suspended" in the water and cannot totally dissolve in the water.

Starch is insoluble in water and so can be used as a storage device for glucose; plants convert the spare glucose into starch then store it.
cellulose is not water soluble, starch is water soluble.
Starch and glycogen are two polysaccharides that are water soluble.
Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).
