yes
No, viruses do not have starch granules. Starch granules are complex carbohydrate structures typically found in plants and some algae, used for energy storage. Viruses are simpler entities that lack the cellular machinery necessary to produce or store such structures.
Absorption of water: dry starch granules absorb water and swell. Disintegration of granules: starch granules break apart, releasing amylose and amylopectin. Hydration of amylose and amylopectin: water molecules bind to the exposed starch molecules. Gel formation: molecular entanglements between starch molecules form a gel network. Amylose leaching: some amylose molecules migrate out of the starch granules and contribute to gel formation. Retrogradation: re-arrangement of starch molecules leads to the formation of a firmer gel upon cooling.

The purpose of adding iodine solution to the onion cell is to stain the cell's starch granules. Starch granules will appear blue-black when iodine solution is added, allowing for easy visualization of the presence of starch in the cell.
The natural form of starch in a leaf is typically stored as granules within plastids, particularly chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs. These starch granules consist of two components: amylose, which is a linear chain of glucose molecules, and amylopectin, which is a branched structure. Starch serves as an energy reserve for the plant, particularly during periods when photosynthesis is not occurring, such as at night or during periods of low light.
They store starch mainly.Starch is stored in starch granules.

They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules

There are some organells.Chloroplast,glyoxisomes,starch granules are some.
Starch granules serve as a storage form of energy in plants, providing a source of carbohydrates for growth and metabolism. When needed, these granules can be broken down into simpler sugars for energy production in the plant.
Starch can change into a different form or structure through a process called gelatinization, which occurs when starch granules absorb water and swell, leading to the breakdown of the granules and the formation of a gel-like substance. This process is often triggered by heating the starch in the presence of water.
The main function of amyloplast is to store starch granules in some plant cells. They are also responsible for synthesizing these starch granules.
They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules, through the polymerization of glucose.

No, dextrinization and gelatinization are not the same. Dextrinization is the breakdown of starch molecules into smaller dextrin molecules through heat, while gelatinization is the swelling and bursting of starch granules in water, leading to the thickening of a mixture.
