It depends a little on yeast type, but they are both about the same. In the presence of one or the other, fermentation will take about the same time. In the presence of both, the glucose will be fermented first. Fructose and glucose are consumed by different metabolic pathways. When glucose is present the other pathways are suppressed.

∙ 16y agodepends, are you using glucose tablets? depends, are you using glucose tablets, what kinda yeast?

∙ 13y agoNo. Glucose is better, but starch can be used. Glucose is used because it's easier. Starch can break down to glucose with the enzyme amylase, but usually glucose is used to save time.

Does blood carry starch around the body?
No, blood does not contain starch. Because in animal cells glucose is the extra energy storage form rather than starch. Here is a link about the composition of blood.
Can glucose be made in laboratories?
Yes. it's done all the time both in laboratories and in factories. The procedure is pretty simple: start with any starch (if you're doing this in the US they almost always start with cornstarch), mix it with an enzyme called a-amylase and heat it up. When the temperature gets high enough, the starch turns into a sticky paste called "starch glue." They then add glucoamylase to the starch glue, and 95 percent of the starch glue turns into liquid glucose. Next, you cool the liquid until crystals form. You'll get two products: crystalline glucose and glucose syrup. Both are easy to sell. They could do it by extracting glucose from foods that contain it, but the foods that contain glucose are more valuable than the glucose they contain. It's kinda silly to destroy $30 worth of grapes to get 25 cents worth of glucose.
Is glucose bigger than a protein?
No, glucose is a sugar. And a carbohydrate. Google sugar.
Why is the excess glucose that is not used in plants stored as starch?
Starch is needed to store glucose because starch is thousands of glucose linked together to form the polysaccharide 'starch', and is a more efficient way to store glucose than thousands of individual glucose molecules free floating around.
Do natural sugars ferment faster in yeast than artificial sugars?
Some sugars ferment faster than others because they are less processed. Fruit sugars ferment faster than processed white sugar for example.
Why you consume starch rather than glucose?
Starch is made up by glucose.We consume plant products.Plant store glucose as starch.
Why are polymer forms of starch and glycogen utilized as storage forms of glucose by living cells rather than an equivalent amount of free glucose?
Glucose is osmotically actice since it is soluble. This increases the water content inside the cell, the cell eventually burst. Since glycogen and starch are insoluble it is better to convert glucose to starch (in plants) or glycogen (in animals).
Does glucose release energy quicker than starch?
GLucose does release energy quicker than starch. this is because starches (CH2O) are the compounds in which glucose is stored.
What food molecule starch or glucose will pass easily through the wall of the small intestine?
glucose because it can easily break down by enzymes than starch
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.
Does blood carry starch around the body?
No, blood does not contain starch. Because in animal cells glucose is the extra energy storage form rather than starch. Here is a link about the composition of blood.
Why does hydrolysis of glycogen is faster than the starch?
Both glycogen and starch are polymers of glucose. Alpha 1,4 linkage of glucose produces chain linkage and Alpha1,6 linkage produces branching of chains. Glycogen has more brached chains than starch. More the number of branches means there are more terminal glucose molecules with alpha 1,4 linkage. More the number of terminal glucose linked with alpha1,4 linkages, more enzymes will be get a chance to hydrolyze the linkage.
Why is sugar recommended for a hypo as opposed to starch?
1) Sugar converts to glucose much faster than starch 2) Sugar is digested quicker than starch 3) Sugar raises blood sugar level in the body quicker
What do corn starch and paper have in common?
They both contain linked chains of glucose molecules, starch being less complex than the cellulose fiber found in paper.
Does glucose give us more energy than starch My question is not which will give energy faster or which is more easily absorbed by the body but rather Which of the two is more energy dense?
If you are referring to energy dense, then it definitely is starch, as it is a large molecule and more complex than glucose, the simplest sugar that is readily absorbed by the body as it can diffuse through epithileal cell walls and into the cell/bloodstream. Starch is more complex...you can tell by this: Starch--(broken down by amylase)--->Maltose----(Broken down by Maltase)--->Glucose It is like a building block, Glucose chemically combine to form a more complex sugar, then starch. That is why chemical digestion requiring the biochemical catalyst amylase to break the larger molecule into a smaller one. Glucose is a simple sugar, and you can say it is like a building block for Starch. It is like asking, which has more metal atoms, a scrap of metal or a car. The car, being made up of scraps of metal, has more metal atoms, like starch is more energy dense as it is 'made up' of glucose. You can say starch is 'made up' of glucose as when digestion takes place, starch is broken down into glucose by the enzyme amylase.

Why honey ferment?
If the water content of the honey is greater than 18%, it will ferment.
