They are composed of amylose and amylopectin. They are different because the former is a linear chain of glucose molecules, while the latter is a highly branched

What is the function of starch in animals?
Starch is a polysaccharide, thus it is made up of many molecules of monosaccharides (glucose). THis allows it to be consumed then reduced to glucose to provide energy for the organism. It is how plants store their energy.
When plants store sugar they store it as a molecule made up of long chain of sugars called?
they are cellulose molecule.starches
What are the simple sugars made up of?
Starches... Starches are large molecules made of small simple sugar molecules.
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.
Which characteristic do glycogen and starch share?
They are both made up of chains of glucose molecules, with glycogen being the form for animals and starch being the form for plants.
Are big starch molecules made up of little glucose molecules?
there are a large number of glucose molecules in starch.
What do digestive enzymes split starch into?
Starch is a polysaccharide made up of a chain of sugar molecules. Digestive enzymes split starch into glucose molecules by breaking up links of the chain.
What are the components of starch?
It is made up a chain of glucose molecules.
Starch or glycogen are examples of what?
Starch and glycogen are examples of polysaccharides, which are large carbohydrate molecules made up of many sugar units joined together. They serve as energy storage molecules in plants (starch) and animals (glycogen).
What substance makes starch?
Starch is made up of amylose and amylopectin. Both of these are polymers of glucose molecules.
How many molecules make up a large starch molcule?
I need it too i am so annoyed!!
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.
What are carbohydrate molecules made up as?
Carbohydrate molecules are made up of small sub-units called sugars. Carbohydrates also contain the elements hydrogen, oxygen and carbon.
What is the differences of sugar and starch?
they differs only in their chemical composion in carbon-hydrogen-oxygen!!
3 different molecules of glucose?
Three glucose molecules would make a complex carbohydrate which technically is starch. Starch is actually made up of two-six thousand gluocse molecules but for the purpose of your answer, three glucose molecules would produce starch. -hope that helps =) tino
What are large molecules made up of of smaller molecules called?
