glucose is a type of sugar, and it is combined with starch. sugar is a category, because it could be fructose, glucose, etc.

∙ 8y agoGlucose is a monosaccharide, or a simple sugar, and starch is a polysaccharide, a complex carbohydrate, composed of lots of glucose molecules stuck together. The body breaks down starch into glucose (via maltose, a disaccharide) fairly quickly with enzymes in the mouth and gut. That's why if you chew bread for a long time, it tastes sweet.

Glucose is a monosaccharide (a monomer/ single unit of sugar)
Starch is made up of many glucose molecules.
Iodine is an element present in potassium iodide solution which be used to test for starch in a food sample. If yellow potassium iodide turns blue-black when added to the sample, then starch is present.

What is the structural differences between glucose and starch?
Glucose is a monosaccharide (simple sugar) having the formula C6H12O6. D-glucose has 5OH, 1H and 1O functional groups. Starch is polymer of Glucose. It is made of many Glucose molecules attached by Glycosidic bonds. The formula is (C6H10O5)n, where n represents number of substitutions.
What is the differences between corn starch and wheat starch?
what is the difference between barley starch and corn starch
What are the differences between a monoscaccharide a disccharide and a polysaccharide?
Polysaccharides = one sugar, such as glucose Disaccharides = linked sugars--two glucose forming maltose. Polysaccharides = many linked sugars--starch is an example of this.
What are the difference between glucose starch and sugar?
glucose is a type of sugar, and it is combined with starch. sugar is a category, because it could be fructose, glucose, etc.
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.
Where do plants store glucose in?
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.
What is relation between starch and glucose?
Glucose and starch are both in the same family called carbohydrates. Starch is a more complex molecule and sometimes called a polysaccharide, while glucose it the simplest and referred to as a monosaccharide.
What substances is glucose converted into in the seed of a plant?
glucose, starch starch and glucose (:
