13Starch is insoluble, why is this an advantage?
- AIt doesn't diffuse easily out of cells
- BIt doesn't draw water into the cells via osmosis
- CIt can draw water into the cell via osmosis
14Which of the following easily diffuse in and out of cells?
- AAlpha glucose
- BStarch
- CCellulose
- DBeta glucose
- EGlycogen

- DBeta glucose
- EGlycogen
16Where is starch found in large amounts?
- ASeeds
- BStorage organs
- CHay
17Starch is not an important component of food. True or False?
- ATrue
- BFalse
18Which of the following has branched chains?
- AAlpha glucose
- BStarch
- CCellulose
- DBeta glucose
- EGlycogen
19Which of the following has hydrogen bonds between adjacent chains?
- AAlpha glucose
- BStarch

- BFalse
22Which of the following contains molecules rotated through 180 degrees?
- AAlpha glucose
- BStarch
- CCellulose
- DBeta glucose
- EGlycogen
23Starch is formed in a condensation reaction and is linked by glycosidic bonds. True or False?
- ATrue
- BFalse
24Cellulose is strong due to the individual strength of each hydrogen bond within it. True or False?
- ATrue
- BFalse
25How is starch suited for energy storage?
- AStarch is insoluble therefore it doesn't diffuse out of cells or draw water into cells
- BStarch is compact so a lot can be stored in a small space
- CWhen hydrolysed, starch forms alpha glucose which is easily transported and readily used in respiration
- DStarch is insoluble so is able to diffuse out of cells, and draw water into cells
- EStarch can't be hydrolysed
- FStarch is compact so not a lot can be stored in a large space
26Cellulose is a major component of cell walls, providing rigidity and therefore preventing the cell bursting via osmosis. How?
- ACellulose exerts an outward pressure on the cell wall which prevents any further influx of water
- BCellulose exerts an inward pressure on the cell wall which prevents any further influx of water
27Glycogen is insoluble. Is this an advantage or disadvantage?
- AAn Advantage
- BA Disadvantage
28Due to cellulose, cell walls in plant cells are so rigid and turgid that they push against one another, making harbaceous plants...
- A...semi rigid maintaining its turgid state. This provides maximum surface area for photosynthesis
- B...fully rigid maintaining its turgid state. This provides maximum surface area for photosynthesis
