Which best explains the process that occurs in order for energy to be derived from starch?
A
It must be dissolved in water
B
It must be converted into glucose.
C
It must be combined with another polysaccharide.
D
It must be decomposed into carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis Is a Central ATP-producing Pathway During glycolysis, a glucose molecule with six carbon atoms is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, each of which contains three carbon atoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -cellular respiration, the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.
