Question

All starches are

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starches are composed of glucose monomers, which are linked together to form larger molecules. They are not insoluble in water, as they can form gels and pastes; they are not strictly linear polymers because they can have branched structures (amylopectin); they do not necessarily form aggregates in the presence of water in a way that distinguishes them from other biological molecules; and they are not the principal energy storage for all organisms, as some organisms use other molecules such as fats or glycogen for energy storage.
