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.
Amylase
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.
Glucose can be stored in plants in several ways. In some plants , the glucose molecules join to one another to form starch molecules. Some plants convert glucose to fructose and the energy is stored in this form. In other plants, fructose combines with glucose to form sucrose. The energy is stored in carbohydrates in this form. Plant cells obtain energy for their activities from these molecules.
They are both carbohydrates which consist of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen.
If starch is the polymer, then the monomer is glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Starch is a polysaccharide that is made up of glucose molecules.
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.
