What is starch used for during germination?

In the endosperm of a seed, there is a storage of starch which provides energy, required during germination. To tap into this energy and make it available to the embryo of the seed, the starch is first hydrolysed by an enzyme (alpha amylase) and converted into maltose (a disaccharide), then in turn, maltose is hydrolysed by the enzyme maltase to form glucose (a monosaccharide). The resulting glucose can then provide energy in the form of ATP and be used for growth by the embryo of the seed. Hope this helps.


What happens when starch boiled?

Starch is energy for our body, glucose can not be stored so it is stored as starch, but before this starch can be used as energy to our body, it must be turned back into glucose, this is done by amylase, it breaks down the starch back into glucose so it can be used.

What happens to most of the glucose made by the plant?
