How is glucose stored in a lettuce?
in the leaves
In which form does food get stored in the leaves?
glucose
Is starch stored in leaves of some plants?
after the plant photosynthesises, it has some left over glucose that the leaves covert into starch. The starch is then stored in the chlorophyl (the green pigment in the leaves). At night or in the dark, the plant can't photosynthesise so it respires the stored starch instead
What happens to the sugar produced in the leaves of a plant?
it is changed to starch before it can be stored in the leaves,stems,or roots.
What are the prouduct of photosynthesis?
The end product of Photosynthesis is glucose. Many glucose molecules combine to form starch which is stored in the leaves of plant. Starch is the reserve food material of the plant.
Where is glucose in a plant stored?
Glucose that is not utilized immediately for the plants growth are stored. The unused glucose is converted to starch molecules and stored throughout the cytoplasm
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
Glucose is stored in the liver as?
how Diabetic Ketoacidosis evolves and how the body compensates for the acid
Where is glucose stored in the body?
In the human body, glucose is stored in the cells. The function of the stored glucose is the secondary energy storage. The primary energy is stored in the adipose tissue.
Glucose is stored as this in a plant?
its stored as sugar
What else does a plant use glucose for?
When glucose is first formed in the leaf it is used by the cells during tissue respiration to provide energy for cellular activities. It is used to make cellulose cell walls. Excess glucose is converted to sucrose which is transported to storage organs such as the seeds, stem or roots. The glucose is usually stored in the form of starch. However in some plants it is stored in other forms as well. In sugar-cane glucose is stored in the form of sucrose. During the day, the rate of photosynthesis is so great that glucose is formed at a faster rate than it is removed. A large portion of it is temporarily stored in the leaves as starch. At night, when the process of photosynthesis stops, the starch accumulated in the leaves is converted to simpler sugars by the enzymes present there. The glucose in the leaves reacts with nitrates and other salts to form amino acids. These are then combined to make proteins that are used to form the protoplasm in the cells. Excess amino acids are either stored in the leaves or are carried to the growing parts of the plant to help build new protoplasm there. Fats are also formed from glucose in the leaves. Some of the starch stored in the storage organs may also be converted to fats and stored there.
How is excess glucose stored in the body and why is it stored this way?
Glucose is stored in the muscle and liver cells as glycogen. Glycogen is insoluble, unlike glucose. This means it won't affect the osmotic potential of the cells.
