I believe corn is a starch.
Corn kernels contain sugar (sacharides) and starch (poly-saccharide). The stalk (stover) is lignin (poly-phenol) and cellulose (also a poly-saccharide).

What are some foods that have cellulose?

What could cause a corn-like substance in your stool?
The outer hull of corn is made of cellulose, which is indigestible to humans. Therefore, if you do not chew the cellulose hull, it will pass through your entire digestive system whole and sound, and you will see it in your feces.
What is the advantage of using high in cellulose like sorghum and switchgrass instead of corn?
The advantage to using high cellulose feedstocks such as sorghum and switchgrass instead of corn is that they are more environmentally friendly. These crops are more sustainable and require less water fertilizer and land than corn. Additionally they are better able to handle drought and extreme weather conditions making them more reliable sources of feedstock for biofuel production. Sorghum and switchgrass also have higher cellulose content than corn meaning more fuel can be produced from a given amount of the crop. Here are some of the benefits of using sorghum and switchgrass instead of corn: More sustainable and require less water fertilizer and land than corn. Better able to handle drought and extreme weather conditions. Higher cellulose content than corn meaning more fuel can be produced from a given amount.Overall using high cellulose feedstocks such as sorghum and switchgrass instead of corn is an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to produce biofuel.
What are the top five ingredients listed on a food label you should avoid?
High fructose corn syrup, Polysorbate, Cellulose gum, corn syrup, Trans fat, -or- MSG.
The ingredients in asprin?
carnauba wax*, corn starch, hypromellose, powdered cellulose, triacetin
How ethenol is obtained from corn?
As Corn grows it converts the suns energy, carbon dioxide and water into sugars, cellulose and oxygen. The Corn is harvested and a mash/ slurry of sorts is made and yeasts are added to ferment the sugars into alcohol. The resulting fermented mixture consists of water, ethanol and some methanol (from decomposition of some cellulose). This mixture is between 10 and 15% purity of ethanol. Large scale distillation is then employed to increase the purity of the ethanol to near 100%
Is cellulose a carbohydrate?
Cellulose is a carbohydrate.
What do corn starch and paper have in common?
They both contain linked chains of glucose molecules, starch being less complex than the cellulose fiber found in paper.
What is a cellulose sponge made of?
A cellulose sponge is made of, well, cellulose. Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls, so many plant derived products are cellulose based. Wood is about 50% cellulose, paper and cardboard are almost entirely cellulose, and most plant fibers are mostly cellulose- cotton is about 90% cellulose. the wikipedia article is decent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose
What monomer does cellulose have?
cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose. cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose.
How do you tell the difference between sweet corn and cow corn?
Sweet corn is soft from the day it blooms. "Cow" corn is hard it's entire lifespan. Corn feed is a better way of stating it. Hard corn "corn feed" is also packaged as popcorn. Just a little better cleaning.
Is cellulose a complex carbohydrate?
Cellulose is a carbohydrate.
