Question

Glucose is converted into starch by the process called_________.

• A. Glycolysis
• B. Glucogenesis
• C. Polymerisation
• D. Active transport

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Polymerisation

Glucose is converted into starch by the process called polymerization. In polymerization, several simple and soluble molecules of glucose are put together to form a complex, insoluble molecule of starch. Polymerization is similar to constructing a large building out of the same type of small blocks. The blocks can be connected in various ways to create a larger, more intricately shaped structure.
