Question 3: Which of the following is not a polysaccharide of glucose?
Starch is an important storage substance in plants. Give two features of starch molecules and explain how each enables starch to act as an efficient storage substance (2)
4 lis 2024 · Starch. Starch is the storage polysaccharide of plants. It is stored as granules in plastids (e.g. chloroplasts) Due to the many monomers in a starch molecule, it takes longer to digest than glucose. Starch is constructed from two different polysaccharides: Amylose (10 - 30% of starch)
starch-plants store excess carbohydrates as a starch. Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like list and describe the functions of the four types of polysaccharides, Describe two functions of fats (triglycerides), list the three types of macromolecules which are polymers AND list the monomer of each one. and more.
Starch molecules and cellulose molecules have different functions in plant cells. Each molecule is adapted for its function. Explain one way in which starch molecules are adapted for their function in plant cells.
18 kwi 2022 · Starch is the storage polysaccharide of plants; It is stored as granules in plastids (e.g. chloroplasts) and amyloplasts (small, membrane-bound organelles containing starch granules) Due to starch molecules being large polymers consisting of thousands of glucose monomers, starch takes longer to digest than glucose
This quiz covers the structural and functional aspects of cellulose, chitin, and starch. Explore the primary components of plant walls, invertebrate exoskeletons, and the energy reserves of plants. Test your knowledge on their compositions and significance in the biosphere.
