When Glucose made in photosynthesis is turned into an insoluble compound what is this compound?
When glucose, made in photosynthesis, is turned into an insoluble compound, it is stored as starch in plants. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked together in a way that makes it insoluble in water and suitable for long-term storage of energy.
What is an amylopectin?
An mylopectin is a variety of highly branched, insoluble form of starch.
What converts insoluble starch to insoluble sugar?
Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).
What property makes sugar different from starch and celluloses?
Sugar dissolves very well in water (>65%) while starch only 'absorbs' water (slimy starch or glue) whithout dissolving. Cellulose (paper, cotton) is insoluble.
Which converts insoluble starch into soluble sugar?
Insoluble starch is converted into soluble sugar primarily by the action of enzymes such as amylase. Amylase breaks down starch molecules into simpler sugars like maltose and glucose through a process called hydrolysis. This enzymatic conversion occurs in various biological systems, including human saliva and the digestive system, as well as in industrial processes.
Why starch is a good storage compound in plant?
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.
What is the solubility of corn starch in water?
corn starch is insoluble in water. Cornstarch is not an element!
What is the name of an insoluble carbohydrate used for storage?
Starch

What is the Solubility difference between starch and glucose?
starch is insoluble whereas glucose is soluble
What is the insoluble carbohydrate with big molecules?
Glycogen, starch, and cellulose are all large carbohydrate molecules.
Why starch is a good compound in plant?
Because it is insoluble in water.
What is insoluable starch?
Well, Starch is a storable carbohydrate and the fact that it's insoluble just means it will not dissolve in water.
Why is the digestion of starch to glucose necessary?
Starch is a complex carbohydrate therefore it cannot be used and is insoluble unless it is broken down. Also the body requires glucose for important metabolic functions (respiration) to provide energy for the body, starch cannot be used for this process.
What is an amylopectin?
An mylopectin is a variety of highly branched, insoluble form of starch.
