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)
