Does starch have glucose?
Apples contain mainly glucose. They have a trace of starch when they are ripe. An unripe apple contains quite a lot of starch.
What enzyme acts on starches and turns it into sugar?
Amylase: Starch or amylose is a polysaccharide (carbohydrate) comprised of long chains of glucose molecules. The enzyme, amylase, hydrolyzes starch to dextrins (short chains of glucose molecules), maltose (disaccharide containing glucose) and glucose (sugar).
Can Active transport help starch molecules through a membrane?
Starch is a polysaccharide composed of branching chains of glucose molecules. There is no receptor for starch. There are however, receptors for glucose called GLUT1, GLUT2 and GLUT3
What is the role of the enzymes of the digestive system in the complete breakdown of starch?
amylase (starch) to maltose maltase maltose to glucose Hydrolysis (of) Glycosidic bonds
What 3 things make glucose for organisms?
For animals, the three sources are breakdown of starch, glycogen, and synthesis from lipids. Plants make glucose from photosynthesis.
What does the breakdown of starch produce?
most probably glucose
Does starch have glucose?

Chains of glucose used to store food in plants?
starch
Plants store energy in long chains of glucose called?
Starch :)

Why does a plant need starch?
Glucose is soluble in water and starch is insoluble in water. So for storage in a rather wet medium such as a plant cell, glucose is changed to insoluble starch. When the plant needs glucose for respiration or other processes it changes the starch back to soluble glucose for transportation in solution through the phloem system.
A starch molecule is like a?
Starch molecules are like chains of sugar (glucose). They can be entirely straight (amylose) or branched (amylopectin).
Can Active transport help starch molecules through a membrane?
Starch is a polysaccharide composed of branching chains of glucose molecules. There is no receptor for starch. There are however, receptors for glucose called GLUT1, GLUT2 and GLUT3
What is glucose that is not needed immediately for energy stored in?
Glucose is stored as a type of starch in seeds. Some plants also store it in specialized organs inside of the plant.
What is the role of the enzymes of the digestive system in the complete breakdown of starch?
amylase (starch) to maltose maltase maltose to glucose Hydrolysis (of) Glycosidic bonds
Carbohydrate macromolecules are composed of long chains of?
polysaccharides ie starch, celluscose and glycogen
What 3 things make glucose for organisms?
For animals, the three sources are breakdown of starch, glycogen, and synthesis from lipids. Plants make glucose from photosynthesis.
