They store glucose by converting them into cellulose which is also used to maintain the plants cells walls. Starch is stored in a plants stem, its roots and leaves. Plants store glucose as they are the main source of energy. The converted glucose either it's in the form of starch or cellulose can be used by some animals as it can be easily digested.

What is the storage molecule made by glucose in plants?

Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules


What is glucose not used immediately stored as?

Plants convert unused glucose into starch.


Excess carbohydrates are synthesized into?

Carbohydrates in any form, (simple or complex) are eventually turned into Glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar. If you do not utilize all of the Glucose stored in your body, it will become fat. This will be stored in your fat cells.


What is excess glucose stored as?

glycogen


What energy does the body store from eating food?

The body uses glucose as energy. Excess glucose is stored as fat (in animals) and as starch (in plants).


What is glucose stored as in plants?

Glucose is stored as starch in plants. Starch is a complex carbohydrate made up of long chains of glucose molecules linked together. It serves as an energy reserve for the plant, providing fuel for growth and metabolism.


Where is excess sugar stored in plants?

In their fruits and in some cases in their flowers also.


What do plant cells use to store excess energy?

Yes - plants store energy in the form of starch.


How is excess glucose stored in the body and why is it stored this way?

Excess glucose is stored in the body as glycogen, primarily in the liver and muscles. This is the body's way of storing energy for later use. When the body needs energy, it can quickly break down glycogen back into glucose for fuel.


Which molecule do plants use to store extra glucose?

Glucose can be stored in plants in several ways. In some plants , the glucose molecules join to one another to form starch molecules. Some plants convert glucose to fructose and the energy is stored in this form. In other plants, fructose combines with glucose to form sucrose. The energy is stored in carbohydrates in this form. Plant cells obtain energy for their activities from these molecules.


What happens to the extra glucose produced by plants?

Plants store extra glucose as starch in various parts of their bodies, such as roots or stems. This stored energy can be used later for growth, reproduction, or defense mechanisms. In some cases, excess glucose may be converted into cellulose for cell wall construction.


This developing plant uses starch stored in the seed as a source of energy during germination This stored starch is a by-product of?

The stored starch is a by-product of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces glucose; plants can convert and store excess glucose as starch. Both sugar and starch are types of carbohydrates.
