Why might plant storage organs (such as fruit or tuber) contain both starch and sugar?
Starch and sugar are essentially the same thing. Starch is a polymer (chain) of single sugar molecules. As the starch is made up or broken down, you would expect to find both in the cells responsible for this action.
Does a carbohydrate have to be both starch and sugar or can it be just starch or sugar?
Carbohydrates are made up of a large group of organic compounds which include both starch and sugar. Sugar is the simplest form, and they supply energy to living cells for respiration. Sugar can be stored as starch (which is insoluble). Starch can be broken down into sugar when it is needed for respiration. Both sugar and starch are carbohydrates.Carbohydrates are usually classified into 4 categories:monosaccharides (aka simple sugars) like glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, and xylosedisaccharides like sucrose, lactose, and maltosedigestible polysaccharides like amylose (aka starch), and glycogenindigestible polysaccharides (aka fiber) like cellulose, chitin, and peptidoglycanAll are composed only of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
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 the starch need to be converted into sugar before it is used to make ethanol?
Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants. Glucose is compounded into chians called starch and stored for later use. During times when there is a deficiency of glucose in plant cells, this stored starch can be broken down back into glucose and used in various metabolic processes
What is starch composed of?
Starch is composed of sugar and oxygen
Does a starch affect a diabetic the same as sugar?
Yes because Starch is carbs. Carbs turn to sugar in the body to be used for energy. Once this happens, Your blood sugar will raise. So starch and sugar areeee the same thing. They're just broken down differently.
What kind of reaction is starch being broken into sugar in the body?
the process is called HYDROLYSIS.

How does starch help us?
Starch is a type of complex carbohydrate that is digested in a long process. Starch will be broken down into glucose (sugar). The glucose would thus provide energy for the body.
Does starch have sugar?
no, starch is sugar fool
What is the first easiest thing to be broke down and absorbed by the body?
Probably starch broken down to sugar.
How much sugar in brown rice?
Rice contains very little sugar in the form of sugar. It's mainly starch, which is readily broken down in the body to sugars.
Is starch a sugar?
No, starch is not sugar. But, both are carbohydrates.
Are starch and sugar synonymous?
Starch is an indigestible form of sugar.
Why can protein and starch not be absorbed directly into the body?
Because starch is a polymer of sugar molecules (lots of them all bound together as a store of sugar) and the cells in the body can only metabolize individual sugar molecules. Therefore the starch needs to be broken up into its individual sugars before it is any use to the cells.
What do legumes provide for rhizobium bacteria?
Sugar and starch.
Is wholegrain sugar or starch?
Starch
