Yes light is neccesary for starch synthesis.This is do to the proccess of photosynthesis creating the sugar glucose the glucose is then converted into other forms of carbohydrates e.g sugars for respiration, starch for storgae, or cellulose for cell wall, Lipids e.g. lipoproteins and proteins e.g. enzymes. Therefore meaning that before starch can be produced the glucose must first be produced through the proccess of photosynthesis which requires both sunlight and chlorophyll.

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.
What is the process of conversion of glucose units into starch called?
Dehydration synthesis
What is glucose that is not needed immediately for energy stored in?
Glucose is stored as a type of starch in seeds. Some plants also store it in specialized organs inside of the plant.
Which activity is an example of the life process known as synthesis?
starch is formed by the chemical bonding of glucose
What is the energy storing molecule created during photosynthesis?
during synthesis, ATP, excess get's stored as glucose. glucose store as starch

What does a amylosplant do?
They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules, through the polymerization of glucose.

Glucose molecules that are produced by green plants can be?
converted into starch by dehydration synthesis and stored in root
In plants a storage product that results from dehydration synthesis of many glucose molecules?
starch is the monomer of glusose and dehydration synthesis combines monomers
What is the energy storing molecule created during photosynthesis?
during synthesis, ATP, excess get's stored as glucose. glucose store as starch
What 3 things make glucose for organisms?
For animals, the three sources are breakdown of starch, glycogen, and synthesis from lipids. Plants make glucose from photosynthesis.
Which term would most likely be included in the explanation of the production of starch in a potato?
Photosynthesis, glucose, and dehydration synthesis
Which terms would most likely be included in the explanation of the production of starch in a potato?
Photosynthesis, glucose, and dehydration synthesis
What is the monomer of the polymer starch?
If starch is the polymer, then the monomer is glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Starch is a polysaccharide that is made up of glucose molecules.
