Plants store glucose as the polysaccharide starch. The cereal grains (wheat, rice, corn, oats, barley) as well as tubers such as potatoes are rich in starch.

Starch can be separated into two fractions--amylose and amylopectin. Natural starches are mixtures of amylose (10-20%) and amylopectin (80-90)

How will you determine whether iodine entered the dialysis bag containing starch?

You can determine if iodine entered the dialysis bag containing starch by performing a simple iodine test. Add a few drops of iodine solution to the bag. If the iodine turns blue or purple, it means that iodine has entered the bag and reacted with the starch inside.

When a mixture of starch and glucose is put into a bag made from partially permeable membrane and is put in a beaker so after 20 minutes what change will take place in the contents of bag?

After 20 minutes, the glucose molecules will diffuse out of the bag through the partially permeable membrane because they are smaller in size than the starch molecules. The starch molecules, being too large to pass through the membrane, will remain inside the bag.

Why is starch phosphorylase not involved in vivo starch anabolism?

Starch phosphorylase is primarily involved in starch degradation by catalyzing the conversion of starch to glucose. In vivo starch anabolism involves the synthesis of starch molecules from glucose, which is carried out by enzymes like starch synthase and starch branching enzyme. Therefore, starch phosphorylase is not directly involved in the biosynthesis of starch in living systems.
