this enzyme is called phosphorylase.
The basic unit of starch is glucose.
The changing of extra glucose into starch is a chemical change.
because the leaves have photosynthesized- glucose is produced. therefore, the excess glucose is converted to starch. The starch is then stored in the leaf-starch is what causes the "green" leaf to turn blue black, as iodine turns blue-black when it reacts with starch.:P
An amylose is the soluble form of starch which is a linear polymer of glucose.
Ok so all I have found so far is In Benedict's solution Starch-no observable reaction and Starch Amylase-clear blue. In Iodine Starch- Blue Black Starch and Amylase-orange the web page I found this on how ever was very confusing so I'm not sure
Phosphorylase is an enzyme which joins with Glucose-1-phosphate together to make larger starch molecules. it is an example of synthesis (a joing together enzyme)
glucose starch
Starch is an enzyme that converts the glucose into bigger molecules. Starch is proteins and fat.
Amylase
Sugar, glucose.
The enzyme amylase in the saliva broke the starch down into glucose.
GLucose does release energy quicker than starch. this is because starches (CH2O) are the compounds in which glucose is stored.
salivary amylase
Enzyme
glucose maltose and maltotriose
Assists in the break down of starch to glucose in 3 different ways.
No, it's not an enzyme, it's a simple sugar.
