∙ 14y agothe reaction which converts glucose into starch is a condensation reaction. two glucose molecules are joined together through the reaction to form starch and a small molecule (usually water).

What is converted to starch by plants?
what are 2 plants that are converted suger for starch Edited answer: Glucose is converted into starch by plants
What enzyme converts the glucose into bigger molecules?
Starch is an enzyme that converts the glucose into bigger molecules. Starch is proteins and fat.
In which reaction mixture did hydrolysis of starch occur?
The Starch Hydrolysis by Amylase is the reaction mixture that leads to the hydrolysis of starch. This usually occurs during the metabolic reactions.
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.
Is Starch molecules bigger than protein molecules?
A protein molecule is quite a bit larger than a starch molecule.
What converts insoluble starch to insoluble sugar?
Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).
Glucose molecules that are produced by green plants can be?
converted into starch by dehydration synthesis and stored in root

Why iodine is specific dye to detect starch?
The reaction of the starch changing colour is the result of the formation of polyiodide chains from the reaction of starch and iodine. The amylose, or straight chain portion of starch, forms helices where iodine molecules assemble, forming a dark purple/black color.
What would happen if the iodine molecules passed through the membrane into the starch suspension?
The starch suspension would form into a blue-black precipitate. This is due to the reaction between starch and iodine.
Chemical reaction by which starch is split into mono-saccharides?
Hydrolysis. This process uses water to break down molecules such as starch.
What proteins that speed up certain chemical reaction?
Amylase helps speed up breakdown of starch molecules.
Are starch and oxygen products of photosynthesis?
Yes both of them are. o2 is the byproduct.First glucose is produced.Later glucose is converted into strach and other molecules
What is the different between animal and plant starch?
Animals do not store glucose in starch molecules, but rather in glycogen molecules. Starch molecules have infrequent branching of glucose chains and as such are not readily broken down into glucose monomers by the enzymes that catalyze the reaction. Glycogen molecules follow the same basic structure as starch molecules, but instead have more branching and consequently are broken down easier. This allows for quicker "burst" energy and is better suited to animals' mobility.
What compound are glucose molecules stored in?
It would be more accurate to say that glucose molecules are converted to starch for storage. To make starch, the glucose units join together in a long chain, like beads on a necklace. In order to form the links, each glucose must drop a few atoms so the whole glucose is not present in the starch.
What does the term 'amylase reaction' mean?
Amylase reactions happen when the enzyme called amylase breaks down starch molecules into sugar molecules. When a seed with a lot of starch sprouts into a plant, for example, it is likely to use amylase to convert the starch, which it cannot use directly, into sugar, which it can use.
Where is glucose in a plant stored?
Glucose that is not utilized immediately for the plants growth are stored. The unused glucose is converted to starch molecules and stored throughout the cytoplasm
