Glucose molecules bond together through DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS to produce starch.
WHAT IS DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS?
- Dehydration synthesis is the process whereby larger molecules are formed from the coming together of smaller molecules accompanied by the release of water.
HOW STARCH IS FORMED FROM GLUCOSE?
- Glucose is a monosaccharide i.e. contains one sugar unit while starch is a polysaccharide i.e. contains many sugar units. Glucose molecules come together to form an α-1,4 glycosidic linkage. This joining process that eventually forms starch results in the loss of water molecule, hence, it is called DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS.
