What is the reaction called when sulfuric acid turns black and what is the reaction called?
Sugar Dehydration occurs when sugar is added to sulfuric acid, in the reaction the sugar is broken down into graphite which is black and bubbles with the escaping vapor. This reaction is a exothermic reaction.
Is starch a sugar?
No, starch is not sugar. But, both are carbohydrates.
Is starch made of sugar?
Starch is maonly made of sugar which is commonly referred to as glucose. Starch is a polysaccharide which is made up of several sugar units.
Is starch a phospholipid?
No. Starch is a sugar polymer. (A carbohydrate.)
What are the difference between glucose starch and sugar?
glucose is a type of sugar, and it is combined with starch. sugar is a category, because it could be fructose, glucose, etc.
What is starch broken into sugar by?
They are Broken down by Amylase Enymes.
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.
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.

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 does the term 'amylase reaction' mean?
Amylase reactions happen when the enzyme called amylase breaks down starch molecules into sugar molecules. When a seed with a lot of starch sprouts into a plant, for example, it is likely to use amylase to convert the starch, which it cannot use directly, into sugar, which it can use.
