Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).
Vitamin C molecules, water molecules and glucose molecules are very easily absorbed because they don't have as many particles as starch molecules, protein molecules and fat molecules.
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 are the three items that are prouced by cellular respiration
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.

the reaction in which glucose molecules are formed from starch is a Hydrolisis reaction
Starch is made of many glucose molecules attached together by glycosidic linkage, which removes water from an equation. To break down starch into sugar, water needs to be added into the glycosidic linkages (a process called hydrolysis). The water completely breaks the starch in to individual sugar molecules.
Essentially it is starch that is turned into glucose. Saliva in our mouths contains an amylase which breaks down SOME starch into sugar (or glucose). This process continues with Pancreatic juice which also contains an amylase which breaks down starch to sugar.

Glucose compounds are joined together in a chain of molecules by a process of dehydration synthesis. The process of joining glucose compounds through the removal of water leads the the creation of starch. Through this process, hydrogen (H) and hydroxide (OH) ends are removed and joined separately to make water. Multiple bonds of hundreds of glucose can form complex sugars and polysaccharides such as starch.
Starch is a polysaccharide: it is made up of many, many units of glucose molecules joined together with glycosidic linkages between them. Glucose units are joined through condensation (dehydration synthesis) reactions, where 2 H and one oxygen is removed between 2 glucose molecules to join them together. In photosynthesis, plants use light energy to produce chemical energy in the form of glucose from CO2 and water. The glucose produced is usually converted into starch by the plant for energy storage. Starch is stored mostly in the amyloplasts of a plant. Starch, unlike glucose, is not soluble in room temperature water, so it is more compact and easily stored.
1) water 2) IKI 3) Glucose 4) Membrane pores 5) starch obviously starch is larger than the pores b/c it is the only substance that didn't pass through the membrane. glucose is the most complex molecule out of the remaining three, (making it 3rd smallest) and IKI is even less complex, and water is the most simple.
Starch is insoluble in water and so can be used as a storage device for glucose; plants convert the spare glucose into starch then store it.
starch is soluble in water, on the other hand cellulose is insoluble. also, the glucose molecules in starch and cellulose are linked differently, making it impossible to be broken down by humans.
