If you are referring to energy dense, then it definitely is starch, as it is a large molecule and more complex than glucose, the simplest sugar that is readily absorbed by the body as it can diffuse through epithileal cell walls and into the cell/bloodstream. Starch is more complex...you can tell by this:
Starch--(broken down by amylase)--->Maltose----(Broken down by Maltase)--->Glucose
It is like a building block, Glucose chemically combine to form a more complex sugar, then starch. That is why chemical digestion requiring the biochemical catalyst amylase to break the larger molecule into a smaller one.
Glucose is a simple sugar, and you can say it is like a building block for Starch.
It is like asking, which has more metal atoms, a scrap of metal or a car.
The car, being made up of scraps of metal, has more metal atoms, like starch is more energy dense as it is 'made up' of glucose.
You can say starch is 'made up' of glucose as when digestion takes place, starch is broken down into glucose by the enzyme amylase.
What else can I help you with?
Is energy taken in photosynthesis?
Energy is absorbed by photosynthesis. This energy is stored in glucose
The monosaccharides important in nutrition are?
The monosaccharides important in nutrition are glucose, fructose, and galactose. These carbohydrates are important as they are the simplest form of sugar that can be easily absorbed and utilized by the body for energy.
Is the energy absorbed or released during the process in photosynthesis?
Energy is absorbed during photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process requires energy from sunlight to drive the chemical reactions that produce glucose as a source of energy for the plant.
What happens to the solar energy absorbed by plants during photosyntesis?
Stored as chemical energy in glucose
How is sugar digested and absorbed in the body?
When you eat sugar, it is broken down into glucose in the small intestine. Glucose is then absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to cells throughout the body to provide energy.
How is glucose absorbed into the bloodstream?
Glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream through a process called facilitated diffusion in the small intestine. Specialized proteins called glucose transporters help move glucose molecules from the intestine into the bloodstream, where it can be used for energy by the body's cells.
How do carnivores obtain glucose for energy in their bodies?
Carnivores obtain glucose for energy in their bodies by breaking down the carbohydrates found in the meat they eat through the process of digestion. The glucose is then absorbed into their bloodstream and used by their cells for energy.
Where is energy stored and obtained by chloroplasts from sunlight?
Energy is absorbed by chlorophyll.Energy is stored first in ATP later in glucose.
Which type of sugar is absorbed most quickly by the body?
Simple carbohydrates absorb in the body more easily. They also provide the quickest source of energy to the body. Complex carbohydrates have to breakdown into simple carbohydrates before they can be absorbed by the body.
Is chemical energy in photosynthesis?
yesLight energy is absorbed. This energy is stored in glucose as chemical energy
If you drink glucose powder dissolved in a glass of water you will get instant energy can you tell why?
when we eat food it is finally converted into the most basic form i.e. glucose so when we drink glucose directly it is directly absorbed by the cells without processing in the stomach so it gives instant energy
What is main type of sugar used for energy?
The main type of sugar used for energy in the body is glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that is readily absorbed by the body and serves as the primary source of energy for cellular functions.
