How starch and cellulose treated to allow them to be used by the yeast?
Starch-you use an enzyme e.g. amylase to convert the starch to sugar ,add an enzyme which breaks the starch or cellulose into sugars. The yeast will then ferment the sugars. Not sure about cellulose...
What are the names of the monomers used in the synthesis of amylopectin and cellulose?
Cellulose mainly consists of beta-glucose monomers, unlike starch which is an alpha-glucose polymer.
How are carbohydrates used in plants?
to convert water and carbon dioxide from the environment into glucose and oxygen
A plant produces glucose or sugar in order to produce what?
They produce sugars to be: 1) broken down for energy/food (cellular respiration to produce ATP) 2) linked together in long chains to produce starch and cellulose - starch can be used for coloring (white, like in flower petals) - cellulose is used to build the plant cell walls for support (especially thick in woody cells)
What is the function of carbon in the cell?
Forms the backbone of starch and cellulose within the plant cell. Mostly used during photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates from atmosphertic carbon dioxide.

How is starch and cellulose treated to allow them to be used by yeast?
The yeast has to be abled to fit into the active zone of the enzyme!
How starch and cellulose are treated to alow them to be used by yeast?

What is a complex carbohyrate that strengthens plant stems and roots?
Cellulose and starch are used by plants for building material with starch also serving as a storage molecule that can be converted to glucose for energy.
What are the names of the monomers used in the synthesis of amylopectin and cellulose?
Cellulose mainly consists of beta-glucose monomers, unlike starch which is an alpha-glucose polymer.
Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides but you can eat or digest starch and not the cellulose why?
Both starch and cellulose are polymers of glucose. However, the individual glucose units are linked differently in the two. Humans have an enzyme which is capable of breaking the linkages used to form starch, but do not have one that can break the linkage used to form cellulose. (If you want the technical terms, cellulose uses a beta(1-4) link and starch uses both alpha(1-4) and alpha(1-6) links.)
How is cellulose used by starch?
I isn't, stop asking Wiki awnsers >:(
What are the functions of starch and cellulose?
Cellulose is the found in plant cell walls, it is needed to strenghten these (it forms microfirbils). Starch is the energy store in plants, so used in respiration Thanks The Plant Doctor

What raw material used in alcohol industry?
cellulose,starch,glucose,sweet sorghum,beet root
Does cotton contain starches?
All plants and animals contain starch of some kind. Cotton fibers are cellulose which is a particular type of starch. Actually, that is not technically correct. A starch by definition has alpha 1,4 linkage between its molecules while cellulose has beta 1,4 linkage. If you used the iodine test for starch on a piece of cotton, you will get a negative result.
What do glycogen cellulose and starch all have in common?
Starch and cellulose are two common carbohydrates. Both are macromolecules with molecular weights in the hundreds of thousands. Both are polymers (hence "polysaccharides"); that is, each is built from repeating units, monomers, much as a chain is built from its links. The monomers of both starch and cellulose are the same: units of the sugar glucose. Starch contains alpha-glucose as monomer, whereas cellulose contains beta-glucose.
