Answer:

Starch is converted into glucose, which is used to make ATP (energy.)

Explanation:

Starch is broken down into glucose so it can travel throughout the body by the process of diffusion. Starch particles are too big to fit through the pores of the cell membrane, but glucose isn't. Since starch consists of molecules of glucose, the starch is broken down into glucose particles by an enzyme. After the glucose is transported by blood to the parts of the body that need it, it's used to make ATP.

Respiration is the process of making energy, not breathing. The purpose of breathing is to bring oxygen in for aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration doesn't. Most of our ATP is produced by aerobic respiration, but when you exercise and don't get enough ATP, our cells can do anaerobic respiration for a short time. The product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid, which is why our muscles burn after working out.

The first step of both processes is glycolysis, which takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell. This is the first step of both processes because it doesn't require oxygen. 1 glucose molecule and 2 ATP are used to create 2 pyruvic acid, 4 ATP, and 2 NADH (electron carrier.) The reason this isn't the only step of respiration is because the net charge (profit) is only 2 ATP, which isn't enough to keep the cell alive.

Anaerobic respiration/fermentation:

This respiration doesn't require oxygen. Our bodies only resort to this method when there isn't enough oxygen to meet the need for ATP. This process produces a waste product called lactic acid. The buildup of this causes soreness. Fermentation also occurs in yeast and other plants, which produces alcohol and CO_2. It produces much less ATP than aerobic respiration. Pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid or ethanol, which is different than in aerobic respiration.
