Cells need a source of energy, they get this energy by breaking down food molecules to release, the stored chemical energy.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Green Plants are the main producers of starch as carbohydrate.In order to carry out this special organelle Chloroplast are specially adapted for this purpose,
Green plant are made up of Chlorophyll which are the green pigments that for trapping sunlight for the synthesis of starch to occur.
Photosynthesis is the process of synthesis of the starch.It involves the reaction of C02 with water in the presence of sunlight and enzymes to give oxygen as the byproduct, and Starch( carbohydrate) as the main product.
This process occur in two pathways the light dependent pathways and the light independent pathways,
Green plant and some organisms phytoplankons,algea are capable of producing starch through photosynthesis because of the green pigment they possess.Therefore they are said to be Autothrophic.
Pasta contains starch and thus contains more substrate and needs more enzyme to digest.
<h3>What is
starch ?</h3>
A polymeric carbohydrate called starch, also known as amylum, is made up of a lot of glucose units connected by glycosidic linkages. The majority of green plants synthesize this polysaccharide as a form of energy storage. It is the most prevalent type of carbohydrate consumed by people worldwide and is present in significant proportions in common foods like wheat, potatoes, maize (corn), rice, and cassava (manioc).
Pure starch is a powder that is white, odorless, tasteless, and insoluble in alcohol or cold water. It is made up of the branching amylopectin and the linear and helical amylose molecules. Starch typically comprises 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight, depending on the plant. Animals store their energy in glycogen, which is a more intricately branched form of amylopectin.
