Starch Molecule Structure

Protons and neutrons are found outside the nucleus of an atom.

Electrons are stationary particles within an atom.

The nucleus of an atom contains protons and electrons.

Electrons are smaller in size compared to protons and neutrons.

Neutrons have a negative charge.

Starch is a long chain of fructose units linked together.

Each glucose unit in starch is linked by a 1-3 glycosidic bond.

Starch can have up to 2,000 glucose units linked together.

Cellulose is a short chain of glucose units linked together by 1-4 glycosidic bonds.

The glycosidic bonds in starch are always 1-4 bonds.

Starch is a short chain of fructose units linked together.

The glycosidic bonds in starch are 1-4 linkages.

Cellulose is found in the exoskeleton of arthropods and insects.

Glucose is the end product of digesting starch.

Chitin is present in the cell wall of fungi.

Pectin is a component of the plant cell wall.

Starch contains 50,000 glucose units linked together.

Eating starchy foods like cake and bread does not lead to the production of glucose.

Cellulose is not commonly found in the cell wall of plants.

Chitin is only found in the cuticle of arthropods and insects.

Cellulose is a structural form of polysaccharide found in animal cells.

Cellulose consists of a long chain of fructose units linked by 1-4 glycosidic bonds.

The bond linking glucose units in cellulose is 1-4 glycosidic bond.

Cellulose is a form of monosaccharide found in plant cell walls.

Cellulose plays a role in providing structural support to plant cells.
