In the topic "Energy in Food", we learned about photosynthesis in plants, and how excess sugar in plants are turned into starch.
Today we discussed about starch in class. As many of you have questions on starch, I shared with you a list of food that have high starch content, and the function of starch in human bodies.
Please take note that this is extra information for your understanding of starch, and the information below will not be tested in SA1.
Starch breaks down into glucose in your body.
Glucose:
- is used as energy for your body
- absorbs directly into your bloodstream
- circulates throughout your body in your bloodstream
- is used to power all of your bodily functions
- is the main source of energy for your brain and nervous system
