Detailed explanation-1: -Starch is not a protein. Starch is a type of carbohydrate. It is a polysaccharide, which means it is many individual sugars joined together. Polysaccharides are also called complex carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-2: -Starch consists of the two glucose polymers amylopectin and amylose, which together form insoluble, semi-crystalline starch granules (Fig. 1; see [12] for a comprehensive review). Both polymers are made of -1, 4-linked glucan chains connected with -1, 6-branch points, but their structure and biosynthesis are distinct.
Detailed explanation-3: -Starch is a polysaccharide comprising glucose monomers joined in 1, 4 linkages. The simplest form of starch is the linear polymer amylose; amylopectin is the branched form.
Detailed explanation-4: -The starch-related R1 protein is an -glucan, water dikinase-PMC.
