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.
How does food travels in the body?
food travels in our body in a form of liquid after they are digested
What form of sugar do plants store their food as?
Plants store their sugar in another form called complex sugar or starch. They do this because starch is soluble and is able to be transported easily.
Why does most of the food you eat need to be digested?
All food contains complex substances such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The body cannot utilise these substances in their complex form. The food consumed is broken down into simpler substances by a procedss called digestion. The digested food can be easily absorbed by the body.
Where does starch from a potato come from?
As part of photosynthesis, plants make sugar. This is transformed into the more solid starches (the polysaccharides amylose and amylopectin) using glycosidic bonds, similar to those that form glycogen in animal metabolism. These bonds are easily hydrolyzed to release the glucose. Potatoes are storing food in their tuber roots to last the winter.Heating a potato breaks down some of the starch into pyrodextrins, which are darker in color. Cooking the starch makes it more easily digested.

What are the side effects or sickness you can get in eating uncooked rice?
Rice is rich in carbohydrate, when we cook rice it come to a form or becomes starch, which is easily digested, If we eat uncooked rice, then it becomes difficult to digest, and may lead to intestinal suffocation and uncomfort.
Is plants or meats harder to digest?
Humans' storage form of energy is a six carbon sugar called glucose. Our cells can easily break glucose down into ATP, the main energy that powers our cells. Plants' storage form of energy is starch, which we can also break down, however you eat the whole plant, not just its starch, and plants also contain cellulose, a structual carbohydrate that your body cannot breakdown into ATP. While starch can be converted to glucose, it requires more energy to do so, and cellulose cannot be converted at all. So in short, your body breaks down meat more easily because it's energy is already stored in a form which your body can process most easily.
What is the main form of cabohydrate storage in animals?
Starch No, Starch is how plants store glucose. The human body stores glucose as glycogen.
How is glucose?
Glucose, fructose and galactose are simple sugars. So, glucose is final digested form of sugar and it can not be further digested. It is absobed in the body from the small intestine.
How is sodium digested?
It isn't. When sodium is consumed in food it is already in the same form as it is when used by the body.
Where glycyrol digested?
It can not be digested because it is the final digested form of fats
