Glucose compounds are joined together in a chain of molecules by a process of dehydration synthesis. The process of joining glucose compounds through the removal of water leads the the creation of starch.
Through this process, hydrogen (H) and hydroxide (OH) ends are removed and joined separately to make water. Multiple bonds of hundreds of glucose can form complex sugars and polysaccharides such as starch.

Is glucose a starch?
No. Glucose is a sugar.
Plants store extra glucose in the form of?
Plants store glucose in the form of starch. Glucose is also converted to a range of other substances. Two notable examples are the conversion of glucose to fats/oils for seeds and the conversion of glucose to sucrose for transportation.
Is glucose starch?
Glucose is a sugar. It is not a starch. There are certain similarities but they are not the same thing. Glucose is one of the building blocks of starches.
What nutrients yield the highest amount of energy per gram when metabolized?
starch is the nutrient that provides greatest amount of energy. during the process of digestion starch is converted into maltose which is then converted into glucose. breaking down of 1 glucose molecule provides 2780kilo joules of energy.
Which enzyme breaks down starch into glucose?
Amylase
What substances is glucose converted into in the seed of a plant?
glucose, starch starch and glucose (:
What is converted to starch by plants?
what are 2 plants that are converted suger for starch Edited answer: Glucose is converted into starch by plants
What happens to starch in banana when it gose from green to ripe?
The starch is converted into glucose.
In Sugarcane how Starch is converted into Glucose?
by malate aspartate pathway
Where does the leaf convert glucose to so you can be stored?
it is temporarily stored as starch in the starch granules.moreover,it can also be converted to simpler sugars at night.
What compound are glucose molecules stored in?
It would be more accurate to say that glucose molecules are converted to starch for storage. To make starch, the glucose units join together in a long chain, like beads on a necklace. In order to form the links, each glucose must drop a few atoms so the whole glucose is not present in the starch.
Where is glucose in a plant stored?
Glucose that is not utilized immediately for the plants growth are stored. The unused glucose is converted to starch molecules and stored throughout the cytoplasm
Are starch and oxygen products of photosynthesis?
Yes both of them are. o2 is the byproduct.First glucose is produced.Later glucose is converted into strach and other molecules
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).
Why does the starch need to be converted into sugar before it is used to make ethanol?
Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants. Glucose is compounded into chians called starch and stored for later use. During times when there is a deficiency of glucose in plant cells, this stored starch can be broken down back into glucose and used in various metabolic processes
Glucose molecules that are produced by green plants can be?
converted into starch by dehydration synthesis and stored in root
Which nutrient must be converted into a chylomicron when being absorbed?
1. triglycerides 2. glucose 3. starch 4. amino acids
