  • Starch Formation: How Glucose Molecules Link Together
    The molecules that link together to form starch are glucose molecules.

    Here's why:

    * Starch is a complex carbohydrate, meaning it's a large molecule made up of smaller sugar units.

    * Glucose is a simple sugar, the basic building block of many carbohydrates.

    * Amylose and amylopectin are the two main types of starch. Both are made of long chains of glucose molecules linked together.

    * Amylose is a straight chain, while amylopectin is branched.

    So, starch is essentially a polymer of glucose molecules.
