Fill the lighter with butane through the hole you made. The butane will remain liquid, due to the temperature being below its boiling point. Use the soldering iron to melt the hole closed again. (Don't worry, this won't ignite the butane; it's only about 400Â°C.)
Starch is called a complex carbohydrate because it is made up of many sugar molecules linked together. It has two main parts: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a straight or linear chain of sugar molecules linked together. Amylopectin is a branched chain of sugars.Starch is a storage carbohydrate of plants such as cereals (wheat, maize, oats, rice and barley), tubers (potatoes, cassava and taro) and pulses (peas and beans).hey are called this because they contain only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Pure dry starch is a white granular powder. Wheat flour contains 70-73% starch and most commonly anywhere between 8 -14.5% protein. If you look at flour under a microscope you can see lots of brick like structures called cells.
Starch is found in potatoes, and in grains such as corn and wheat. Starch is made up of glucose repeat units. Click on the glucose to see it in 3-D.In your body, special proteins called enzymes (which are also polymers, by the way) break starch down into glucose, so your body can burn it for energy.If you're eating a healthy diet, you get most of your energy from starch in this way.tarch is made up of glucose repeat units.
