Which of the following category of biomolecules does Starch belong to?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Carbohydrate. Starch is a carbohydrate, specifically a polysaccharide composed of numerous glucose units. It is a primary form of energy storage in plants and is found abundantly in foods like rice, potatoes, and corn
Information Booster: ● Starch is classified as a polysaccharide, a complex carbohydrate made up of glucose units. ● It serves as a major energy reserve in plants and is stored in their roots, seeds, and leaves. ● Humans and animals break down starch into glucose using the enzyme amylase. ● Starch is commonly found in foods like bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes. ● Unlike simple sugars (monosaccharides), starch provides sustained energy as it takes longer to digest. ● Starch can be converted into cellulose, another polysaccharide, which forms the structural component in plant cell walls.
