Essentially it is starch that is turned into glucose. Saliva in our mouths contains an amylase which breaks down SOME starch into sugar (or glucose). This process continues with Pancreatic juice which also contains an amylase which breaks down starch to sugar.

∙ 13y agoglycosidic bonds, which connect monosaccharides making them polysaccharides (like starch), are broken by enzymes, leaving the monosaccharides (like glucose)

∙ 13y agoTurning glucose into starch is a long and complicated process however the main reaction invovles a carbon molceuel along with oxgyen from a water molulecle to form starch

Where do plants store glucose in?
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.
Does starch have glucose?
Apples contain mainly glucose. They have a trace of starch when they are ripe. An unripe apple contains quite a lot of starch.
How do starch turn into sugar?
Starch is made of many glucose molecules attached together by glycosidic linkage, which removes water from an equation. To break down starch into sugar, water needs to be added into the glycosidic linkages (a process called hydrolysis). The water completely breaks the starch in to individual sugar molecules.
Starch consists of smaller units called?
Glucose. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.
What is glucose stored as in plants?
Sugar=glucose
What does salivary enzymes do?
They turn starch (in food which contain carbohydrates) into glucose.
What is the monomer of the polymer starch?
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.
Why do green leaves turn blue black when iodine is added?
because the leaves have photosynthesized- glucose is produced. therefore, the excess glucose is converted to starch. The starch is then stored in the leaf-starch is what causes the "green" leaf to turn blue black, as iodine turns blue-black when it reacts with starch.:P
Where do plants store glucose in?
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.
What substances is glucose converted into in the seed of a plant?
glucose, starch starch and glucose (:
What does a saltine cracker turn into after you chew it for 2 minutes?
It turns into glucose, this is because your saliva breaks it down from a starch to maltose then glucose.
What type of food molecule is broken down to glucose by digestion?
Sugars and starches are broken down into glucose.
What is the storage molecule made by glucose in plants?
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
Out of sugar enzyme glucose starch which substance is not a carbohydrate?
glucose starch
What are energy rich compounds such as starch and glucose?
Starch and glucose are carbohydrates.
Is there glucose in starch?
The fluxcapasator is carried over the 2 and that equals glucose. Yes, there is glucose in starch.
Is starch a polymer of beta glucose?
starch is an alpha-glucose, Cellulose is a beta-glucose molecule
