What are three important polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Three important polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed ofglucose. Starch and glycogen serve as short-term energy stores in plants and animals, respectively. They range in structure from linear to highly branched.
Potato tuber cells have leucoplasts which help?
they help starch storage
What happens to starch in a cracker when it react with saliva?
The enzymes in the saliva help break down the starch in the cracker.
What best explains how the structure of starch molecule relates to its function?
The function of a starch molecule is energy storage.. Therefore, as form fits function, starch is a very long molecule with many..many...many bonds that store the energy.
Why is starch present in boiled amylase?
Boiled amylase as you probably figure has been boiled and since all enzymes are protein, their molecular structure is affected by the heating process. In other words, the amylase has become denatured and will not break down the starch and thus, the starch will remain in its present form.
What is the structure of the starch indicator?

What structure is the location of where starch digestion first takes place?
Stomach
What is the part of flour that absorbs liquid and helps provide structure?
Starch
How is the structure of glycogen similar to the structure of starch?
The hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to carbon 1 below the pentose base.
Why is the structure unable to perform the function of the tuber cell efficiently?
Because the leaf structure do not have the ability to store the starch molecules
What are two polysaccharides in the structure of a plant cell?
2 polysaccharides found in plants are starch and cellulose. :)
Which structure in the cell will produce ATP from starch building blocks?
Cell Membrane
Why does iodine change its colour?
This phenomena depends upon the what is tested. iodine test usually gives a positive result of blue color for starch. The blue color is caused by the trapping of the iodine inside the structure of the starch (note that starch is a polyssacharide that has a helical structure). It is only with starch that this happens cause starch has the only one with a helical structure. Now your question is why is it that the color disappears when heated, right? This is because the heat causes an unwinding of the helical structure of starch releasing the trapped iodine making the solution colorless. However, if cooled, with no heat present, the starch structure becomes helical once more trapping the iodine returning the blue colored solution. this is just what i learned from my Biochemistry class, hope it helps!!
