Retaining amylum
amylum: starch
def. of starch:
1. a white, tasteless, solid carbohydrate, (C6H1 0O5)n, occurring in the form of minute granules in the seeds, tubers, and other parts of plants, and forming an important constituent of rice, corn, wheat, beans, potatoes, and many other vegetable foods. 2. a commercial preparation of this substance used to stiffen textile fabrics in laundering. 3. starches, foods rich in natural starch. 4. stiffness or formality, as of manner: He is so full of starch he can't relax. 5. Informal. vigor; energy; stamina; boldness. -verb (used with object) 6. to stiffen or treat with starch. 7. to make stiff or rigidly formal (sometimes fol. by up).
What else can I help you with?
What is the function of amyloplasts cells?
They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules
How many amyloplast organelles in a potato cell?
The main function of amyloplasts in potatoes are to store starch and sugars in the potatoe cells.
What stain is used amyloplasts?
Iodine stain is commonly used to detect amyloplasts due to their ability to stain starch granules purple-black.
Where do starch grains develope in a cell?
in the amyloplasts
What is the name of the carbohydrate that amyloplasts are made of?
starch
Which kind of plastid in roots of the plants?
Amyloplasts! :)
What do you call the plastids in potato cells?
Amyloplasts
What is the function of an amylosplast?
Amyloplasts are cells in plants which convert glucose to starch (using polymerisation). It also stores these starches and then converts them back into sugar for the plant to use as an energy source.
What do amyloplasts store in potato cells?
Amyloplasts are used for the synthesis and storage of starch. Proteins are usually stored in the Golgi Apparatus. As for the plants oils, that is different depending on the plant.
What is the function of th amyoplast of a plant?
Amyloplasts are organelles in plant cells that are responsible for storing starch granules. They play a key role in the synthesis and storage of starch, which serves as a reserve energy source for the plant. In addition, amyloplasts can also detect gravity, helping the plant to sense its orientation for proper growth.
What is an analogy for amyloplasts?
Please check this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloplast.
What is the function of the amyloplast in plant cell?
Amyloplasts are specialized plastids in plant cells responsible for the storage of starch granules. They convert glucose into starch, which can later be broken down to provide energy for the plant. Amyloplasts are particularly abundant in storage tissues like tubers and seeds.
