11. Sudden release of starch granules can be set off by atmospheric changes before and during thunderstorms. 12. In other words, the higher the amylopectin content, the higher the swelling of the starch granule . 13. Amylose begins to diffuse out of the starch granule and forms a gel matrix around the granule. 14. Nelson showed that starch granules from wx wx wx endosperm had very low starch granule-bound glucosyltransferase activity. 15. Nelson showed that starch granules from wx wx wx endosperm had very low starch granule -bound glucosyltransferase activity. 16. Each species of plant has a unique type of starch granules in granular size, shape and crystallization pattern. 17. The tools had two hundred and seventy times the number of starch granules than the sediments around it. 18. One important mechanism is the migration of moisture from the starch granules into the interstitial spaces, degelatinizing the starch. 19. Apicomplexans store their energy in amylopectin starch granules that are located in their cytoplasm, even though they are nonphotosynthetic. 20. The starch granule structure and its changes during different processing histories were brilliantly analysed using a novel X-ray scattering technique.
