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. Polymerization is similar to constructing a large building out of the same type of small blocks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Our body stores excess glucose as glycogen (a polymer of glucose), which becomes liberated in times of fasting. Glucose is also derivable from products of fat and protein break-down through the process of gluconeogenesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose is a linear, ribbon-shaped polymer of glucose molecules. The individual glucose units are connected via glycosidic bonds between their C1 and C4 positions, and the anomeric C1 carbon adopts the -configuration.
