You might understand what
happens in your belly while the starch of pototoes is digested:
* Left: String at
least 20 yellow beads on a thin brass wire. * Coil this string around a
pencil.
* Explanation:
Your stringing of yellow beads illustrated the connecting a great number
of glucose molecules (T) in a growing potato.
More than 20 glucose molecules
form one single starch molecule .T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T.
*
Middle:
Heat two yellow beads until they have soft spots, weld
them and press them together.
* Explanation:
By chewing potato pieces for a long time without
swallowing it each of the huge starch molecules decompose leaving a great
number of "twin sugar" molecules (T-T).
* Right: Household
sugar (T-F) is made similar twin sugar molecules. Digesting
this sugar by bees means that each of its twin molecules decompose
resulting in 2 molecules "single sugar ( T und F).
