Why does your body need to break down starch into sugar?
To absorb something in the blood the molecule has to be small and dis solvable. Glucose is very small and can be easily absorbed in the blood but starch molecules are very big. Really many glucose molecules put together form a starch molecule. Be cause starch is so big the enzymes have to cut it down so that it can be digested into the body. This is why starch molecules have to be broken down into glucose for digestion in animals.
What is the storage molecule made by glucose in plants?
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
Why is starch found in plants?
Glucose for energy is stored as starch in plants. The glucose molecules join up to form starch molecules.
Are big starch molecules made up of little glucose molecules?
there are a large number of glucose molecules in starch.
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.
What enzyme converts the glucose into bigger molecules?
Starch is an enzyme that converts the glucose into bigger molecules. Starch is proteins and fat.
Where do plants store glucose in?
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.
What is the role of the indicator?
indicator help us find out find out which molecules diffused and which didn't.... for example: starch indicator indicate starch......and.......glucose indicator indicate glucose.
These polysaccharide molecules called are made up of long chains of glucose molecules?
Carbohydrates are the molecules made of sugar repeats. Starch, cellulose and glycogen are classical example for the same. They can be digested back to the monomers by the enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis reaction such as cellulase or amylase.
Which of the following molecules link together to form starch?
Glucose Glucose units come together to form large cellulose and starch molecules.
What molecules link together to form starch?
glucose glucose units come together to form large cellulose and starch molecules.
What nutrients did get from starch?
Starch is a polymer of glucose molecules. You get sugar from it.
