because starch is insoluble and too big to diffuse into the blood, so they're broken down in the small intestine into smaller, soluble molecules like glucose and amino acids. these can then move into the blood and be transported to all the cells of the body where they're needed.

i am not really sure but it has to do with digestion and your cell membrane sends out cells to take in the nutrients from the food then it gets into blood and the waste out your butt

Why is the digestion of starch to glucose necessary?

Starch is a complex carbohydrate therefore it cannot be used and is insoluble unless it is broken down. Also the body requires glucose for important metabolic functions (respiration) to provide energy for the body, starch cannot be used for this process.


What are undigested substances that are used by the body without undergoing chemical change?

Fiber is an undigested substance that is used by the body without undergoing chemical change. It passes through the digestive system mostly intact and helps with healthy digestion and bowel movements.

What happens when starch boiled?

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.

A real diet carb?

Foods made with resistant starch create reduced calorie, high fiber products. Resistant starch is not absorbed by the small intestine, where most nutrients are absorbed by the body. The starch undergoes limited digestion in the large intestine. The undigested portion of resistant starch passes through the large intestine as fiber. Small amounts of resistant starch occur naturally in potatoes, grains, and legumes. Food manufacturers use chemical processing to create resistant starches because properties such as crisp texture are enhanced in addition to reducing calories and increasing fiber. Resistant starches are used in baked goods and snack foods.


In the body starch breaks down to form what?

starch molecule degraded to disaccharides and trisaccharides by amylases and ultimately these will make glucose(which will be used as energy providing nutrient by cells).
