| Front | How is starch adapted for its function? |
|---|---|
| Back | - compact helical shape, lots of starch stored in small volume - insoluble so osmotically inactive - large and insoluble so doesn't diffuse out of cells - branched chains increase surface area - provide multiple ends for enzymes to hydrolyse starch - to rapidly release glucose |
