The two components of starch are amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a straight chain molecule made of glucose molecules joined by alpha 1-4 links. Amylopectin is a branched molecule made of glucose joined by alpha 1-4 links, with branches joined by alpha 1-6 links.
The chemical formula for starch is (C6H10O5)n, where n represents the number of repeated glucose units in the polymer.
Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
No. Cellulose and starch are both forms of carbohydrates, not a form of one another.
Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, and excess carbohydrates can also be converted to fat for long-term storage in adipose tissue.
Glucose molecules link together to form starch. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of multiple glucose units linked together in a chain.

Starch is an indigestible form of sugar.
STARCH
Starch
Simplest form
Fiber, in the nutritional sense, is cellulose, not starch. Starch is not a fiber (even when it is in the form of spaghetti).
no...liquid starch is starch in liquid form. tide is used to wash clothes.
3/7 is in its simplest form.
carbohydrates
Plants store food in the form of starch, which is a complex carbohydrate made up of glucose molecules. Starch is stored in specialized plant structures like roots, tubers, and seeds, where it can be broken down later to provide energy for growth and metabolism.
