What converts insoluble starch to insoluble sugar?
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).
What can be soluble and insoluble?
Something that is soluble can dissolve in a liquid (like sugar in water), but something that insoluble cannot (like rocks in water).
What form of sugar do plants store their food as?
Plants store their sugar in another form called complex sugar or starch. They do this because starch is soluble and is able to be transported easily.
Why does the potato plant store starch and not sugar?
The potato does not store sugar because there is no sugar in it. The plant has starch in it which is then turned into "sugar" when it is eaten and digested. -when starch is digested, it turns to glucose. The organelle holding the startch grains are called leucoplasts.
What property makes sugar different from starch and celluloses?
Sugar dissolves very well in water (>65%) while starch only 'absorbs' water (slimy starch or glue) whithout dissolving. Cellulose (paper, cotton) is insoluble.
Is starch more soluble in water or sugar?
Starch is insoluble in water.Sugar reedily soluble

Is salt and sugar insoluble in water?
Both (table) salt and sugar are soluble in water.
What does a plant use sugars for?
The simple sugars are most easily stored as starches, and the breaking down of these starches is what releases the energy the plant needs to survive. Actually, it is necessary to store the sugars in some insoluble forms, you know a soluble form of sugar cannot be stored in cells since it imbalances the osmoticum of cells. Starch is insoluble and more stable, so plants prefers to store the sugars in the form of starch converts to sucrose and other soluble sugars whenver needed.
Is sugar insoluble in water?
No, because it's soluble.
What can be soluble and insoluble?

Is sugar souble or insoluble in water?
Sugar is soluble in water forming a sugar solution. The sugar would be the solute. The water would be the solvent.
What is the diffence between Bicarb soda and Sugar?
baking powder is an insoluble solid and sugar is soluble solid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What are soluble and insoluble materials?
Substances which can be dissolved in a solvent are said to be soluble in that solvent.For ExampleSugarSaltbaking powderwashing sodathese are in soluble in water.
What form of sugar do plants store their food as?
Plants store their sugar in another form called complex sugar or starch. They do this because starch is soluble and is able to be transported easily.
Why is sugar recommended for a hypo as opposed to starch?
1) Sugar converts to glucose much faster than starch 2) Sugar is digested quicker than starch 3) Sugar raises blood sugar level in the body quicker
