Starch is insoluble in water and so can be used as a storage device for glucose; plants convert the spare glucose into starch then store it.
Because it is insoluble in water.
The plant that stores a lot of starch is the potato. Potatoes are tubers that have a high starch content, making them a good source of energy.
Good storage containers are built in a manufacturing plant.
Starch is commonly found in plant-based foods such as potatoes, rice, corn, and grains like wheat and oats. It serves as a storage form of energy in plants and is abundant in tubers, seeds, and roots. Starchy vegetables like peas, beans, and lentils are also good sources of starch.
Starch is a good storage of carbohydrates because: 1. It can fold up to take up less space inside the plant. 2. It is insoluable in water, meaning, it can stay inside the plant without dissolving. 3. It can be digested as "back up" energy in case there is less limiting factors like; Carbon Dioxide, light, temperature or nutrients in the soil.
Chlorophyll, cellulose, and starch would be good indicators that the unknown substance is a plant. Chlorophyll is the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis, while cellulose is a structural component of plant cells. Starch is a carbohydrate that plants use to store energy.
The type of starch that is considered to be good starch is a complex carbohydrate. Foods that contain good starch include grains, fruit, vegetables, lentils and beans.
Destarching occurs when part of a plant is "deprived of starch, as by translocation". It is also the process of eliminating starch reserves in a plant for experiments
Starch is a very good nutrition!
iodine is an indicator for starch, potatoes are basically starch storage organs for potato plants. that's why they are good to eat, mmm starch!
Corn and peas are a good source of starch
"How it's made - starch"
