If starch is the polymer, then the monomer is glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Starch is a polysaccharide that is made up of glucose molecules.
It would be more accurate to say that glucose molecules are converted to starch for storage. To make starch, the glucose units join together in a long chain, like beads on a necklace. In order to form the links, each glucose must drop a few atoms so the whole glucose is not present in the starch.
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.
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.
GLucose does release energy quicker than starch. this is because starches (CH2O) are the compounds in which glucose is stored.
O_H and H must be moved. Have a nice day! :P
glucose, starch starch and glucose (:
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
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
glucose starch
Starch and glucose are carbohydrates.
The fluxcapasator is carried over the 2 and that equals glucose. Yes, there is glucose in starch.
