Term starch metabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0005982 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways involving starch, the most important reserve polysaccharide in plants. It is a glucan consisting of two components, amylose and amylopectin, which are both glucose homopolymers. Starch is synthesized as a temporary storage form of carbon and can be catabolized to produce sucrose.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
