Why must you digest starch before you can use it for energy?
Your body cannot use starch because it is a complex carbohydrate. It must be broken down into shorter carbohydrate strings before being converted into energy
What is the storage molecule made by glucose in plants?
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
What do cells use to burn molecules digest food?
oxygen
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.
How are starch and glucose alike?
They are both energy storage molecules that plants use.
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 do cells use sugar and starch for?
The function of starch in plant cells is primarily the storage, and then the releasing, of biochemical energy.
Which function would polar bears and orange trees not use energy for?
moving molecules
Which molecule do plants use to store extra glucose?
Glucose can be stored in plants in several ways. In some plants , the glucose molecules join to one another to form starch molecules. Some plants convert glucose to fructose and the energy is stored in this form. In other plants, fructose combines with glucose to form sucrose. The energy is stored in carbohydrates in this form. Plant cells obtain energy for their activities from these molecules.
What does a cell use for long-term energy storage?
Starch provides long-term energy storage for plants. The energy for plants is stored in the sugar molecules. Starch can contain 500 to a few hundred thousand sugar molecules.
Why does DNA double helix unzips?
Because the molecules from the carbohydrase you use to digest with in the human internal organ sysytem
How do you overcome the disadvantages of starch indicator?
All the alpha amylase molecules should rupture . Boil water and then add to the boiling water required starch. Make sure that the starch is alpha and not beta amylase. Use freshly prepared starch solution for iodometric titrations. --unnikrishnan
