Starches are used to thicken food products by absorbing liquid. However, when a food is heated or frozen, the liquid comes out of the starch (this is called syneresis).
To prevent this, food scientists modify the starches so that they can hold water better. The two ways that starches are modified are by cross-linking and derivatization. These methods help hold starch molecules together or they create pockets in the starch where liquid is trapped.
The amyosplast stores food and starches.
Most of the food plants we use now are 'genetically modified' in the way of improving the amount of food able to be grown, the disease resistances of the plant, the quality and consistency of the food grown - but then farmers have been doing this type of work for hundreds of years, the scientists have only recently taken up the habit

sugars and starches
Yes, grains are considered starches.
Starches are produced by plants to store energy from the sun. When we consume starches, our bodies can use them for energy, too. Starch, however, does not have any nutritional benefits and is dispensable from the human diet.
Non-waxy starches are starches that have a high amylose content compared to amylopectin. They have a lower gelatinization temperature and retrogradation tendency compared to waxy starches, making them suitable for certain food applications where a lower gel texture is desired. Examples include maize, rice, and potato starches.
In moderation, I believe so, but maybe not. I'm pretty positive though, as long as your eating other foods and food types along with the starches.
Yes, They are both Starches!

Sugars (and their polymers - starches) are carbohydrates
Carbohydrates such as starches and sugars like glucose and fructose, for example.
