glucose(: I am in AP Biology
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.
Fehling's solution must be freshly prepared because there is a tendency for it to oxidize if not used right away
starch can be used as support. homogeneous metal catalyst can be immobilised on starch.
a leaf (plant) should be destarched before photosynthesis investigations because the starch already present in the plant may mislead the result . hence if a destarched plant is used for the experiment then the amount of starch present at the time of the experiment will be nil and affter the experiment is compleded the amount of starch present in the leaves woul give the rate of photodynthesis as starch id prepared during photosynthesis
to change the starch to maltose
To prepare 1% starch indicator weigh 1g of starch powder.Measure 100ml of water and keep it for heating.by using some of 100ml water taken,make a paste of starch in watchglass and mix this paste with little and continuous strring of water which is kept for heating.when all the paste is added,allow for heating 5more minutes then starch indicator is ready for titration.Note:no lumps of starch should present in water

CAn Tapioca Starch be used in place of "instant starch?"

Peas contain starch as it is used is used for the storage of carbohydrates.
It is broken down using enzymes, such as amylase, into glucose which then can be used in cell respiration.
A monosaccharide sugar originating in plants and used in animals to carry energy throughout the body, just as sucrose is the main carrier of energy throughout the plant. It is prepared industrially by the hydrolysis of starch.
