Which of the following is a characteristic of starch?
Correct Answer: Starch has a branched structure.
- Step 1: Understand what starch is. Starch is a type of carbohydrate that plants use to store energy.
- Step 2: Learn about the structure of starch. Starch is made up of many glucose molecules linked together.
- Step 3: Identify the two types of structures in starch: amylose (linear) and amylopectin (branched).
- Step 4: Focus on the branched structure of amylopectin. This branching allows starch to hold more glucose molecules.
- Step 5: Recognize that the branched structure helps starch store energy efficiently for plants.
