Glycerol is not a building block of starch. It is a sugar alcohol that is the backbone of many lipids and helps in fat metabolism.

Why anthranilic acid is not a amino acid?

Anthranilic acid is not an amino acid because it lacks an amino group (-NH2) within its molecular structure, which is a defining feature of amino acids. Despite its name containing "acid," anthranilic acid is actually a precursor to various amino acids but is not classified as an amino acid itself.


Are starch composed of amino acids?

No,proteins are composed of amino acids.


Why does starch turn red in sulphuric acid?

Starch turns red in sulfuric acid due to the formation of a complex between the starch and the acid. The acid causes the starch molecules to break down and rearrange, leading to a color change. This red color is characteristic of the starch-sulfuric acid complex.
