What is the basic unit of starch?
The basic unit of starch is glucose.
Is starch molecules that are formed from smaller glucose molecules a chemical or physical change?
The changing of extra glucose into starch is a chemical change.
Why do green leaves turn blue black when iodine is added?
because the leaves have photosynthesized- glucose is produced. therefore, the excess glucose is converted to starch. The starch is then stored in the leaf-starch is what causes the "green" leaf to turn blue black, as iodine turns blue-black when it reacts with starch.:P
What is an amylose?
An amylose is the soluble form of starch which is a linear polymer of glucose.
How iodine and Benedict's solution tested for starch and glucose?
Ok so all I have found so far is In Benedict's solution Starch-no observable reaction and Starch Amylase-clear blue. In Iodine Starch- Blue Black Starch and Amylase-orange the web page I found this on how ever was very confusing so I'm not sure
What does Phosphoglycerate kinase do?
Phosphorylase is an enzyme which joins with Glucose-1-phosphate together to make larger starch molecules. it is an example of synthesis (a joing together enzyme)
Out of sugar enzyme glucose starch which substance is not a carbohydrate?

What enzyme converts the glucose into bigger molecules?

Which enzyme breaks down starch into glucose?
Amylase
What substance does enzyme in saliva change starch into?
Sugar, glucose.
How do you explain when we add starch solution saliva dilute alkali and did not presence of starch and presence of glucose?
The enzyme amylase in the saliva broke the starch down into glucose.
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 enzyme converts starch to glucose in the mouth of humans?
salivary amylase
What molecule increases the rate at which starch is broken down into glucose?
Enzyme
What is the hydrolytic product of starch?

Describe how the enzyme affects starch?
Assists in the break down of starch to glucose in 3 different ways.
Is glucoamylase an enzyme?
No, it's not an enzyme, it's a simple sugar.
