No, keep your proteins and carbohydrates separate. Amino acids are the monomers of protein molecules. Proteins are not used for energy, though due to their wide variety of functions, proteins are involved in the energy utilization process. Plants form glucose, carbohydrate monomers or monosaccharides through photosynthesis. They then bind together those glucose monomers into a polymer as starch or cellulose.

What do plants store in its tissues and breaks them down when it needs energy?
Carbohydrates, proteins and fatty acids
Metabolic reactions can produce?
Metabolism produces: amino acids(protein), carbohydrates(molecules that store energy), and lipids(fat)
How does plants store carbohydrates?
Starch and cellulose.
How do plants and animals store carbohydrates?
photosynthesis
Which carbohydrates do plants store for later energy use?
Plants store glucose for later use.
Do carbohydrates store and transmit hereditary information?
No, only nucleic acids store and transmit hereditary information.
What form do plants store their carbohydrates?
starch & cellulose
What do plants store carbohydrates as?
In plants, carbohydrates are stored as starch. This is their main storage of energy, and it's all over the plants, helping it to continue to grow come springtime.
How do plants store glucose that is to be used at a later time?
Plants use glucose in 5 ways: They store it as fats and oils (lipids) in plant seeds They use it to make cellulose to strengthen cell walls They use it to make amino acids for proteins They store it as starch They use it as a reactant of respiration
In what form do plants store extra carbohydrates?
It is usually stored as a simple sugar known as glucose. When the food is created, the plant can either consume it right away or store it. If it consumes it, then it is starch.
What do plants store their extra carbohydrates as?
They store it for the night because, at night there is no sunlightAs the polysaccharide starch.
What do carbohydrates lipids proteins and nucleic acids do?
Carbohydrates: storage and transport of energy and structural components Proteins: Many proteins are enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions, and are vital to metabolism. Protein is also necessary in animals' diets, since they cannot synthesise all the amino acids and must obtain essential amino acids from food. Lipids: Have many functions in living organisms including nutrients, energy storage, structural components of cell membranes, and important signaling molecules. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum also processes these lipids, which store energy. Nucleic Acids: Carry genetic information or form structures within cells.
