Potato is a stem or root?
Potatoes are considered stems and not roots, because they are the part of the stem of the plant that grows underground, it's the part of the stem that thickens and accumulate starch.
Is glucose released by photosynthesis?
actually not because glucose is one of the by products produced during photosynthesis and some part of it is stored form of starch and some part of starch is provided to different parts of the plant.
Are potatoes unicellular or multicellular?
Yes. A potato plant is like any other flowering plant with many specialised cells. One cell organell (intra cellular body) which makes plant cells different from animal cells is the presence of chloroplasts the part of the cell which traps light and uses the energy to produce carbohydrates. In potato plants, the carbohydrate starch is stored in the tubers which we eat.
Where is glucose stored after plant plant has made glucose during photosynthesis?
Glucose is typically stored in starch molecules after photosynthesis. A large amount of glucose will make its way to the roots to be stored in starch nodules there. Glucose is also an essential part of plant growth. It provides energy but also forms the cellulose needed for cell walls.
What is the name of the part on both the animal and plant cell which is the energy store for the cell?
Vacuole
What does a potato do for the potato plant?
Potatoes (the part we eat), are modified underground stems called stolons. The stolons have cells that store starch in a type of plastid called amyloplasts.
Why is the potato rich in starch?
The part of the potato that we eat is a root, in which the potato plant has stored nutrients for its own use. Starch is a convenient nutrient with which to store calories that the plant can use to grow. We, of course, can also use starch for our own purposes.
What part of the potatoes plant do you eat?
the potato A potato is a tuber; a type of underground storage organ that the plant can use to store energy in the form of starch which is used as fuel while the above-ground portion of the plant is growing during the growing season. Tubers are not roots (potato eyes are the roots) and are not fruits (potato plant fruits are found on the above-ground portion.)
Where do plants store starch?
Plants manufacture glucose as a result of photosynthesis. Glucose is a simple sugar, but the plant cannot store it as glucose, because it takes up too much room. Instead, the plant produces starch, which is basically glucose without some water. This process is called dehydration synthesis, and it allows the plant to store the sugar it needs more efficiently. Humans and other animals, on the other hand, store sugar differently. We can't store glucose either, nor can we store starch because we're not plants; but we can store glucose as glycogen. Both starch and glycogen are polysaccharides, and both are formed by dehydration synthesis.
What does de-starch mean?
Destarching occurs when part of a plant is "deprived of starch, as by translocation". It is also the process of eliminating starch reserves in a plant for experiments

What is the class of a potato?
Potatoes are Solanum tuberosum and belong to the family Solanaceae. They are a nightshade plant and as a result the only edible part of the plant is the root (tuber).

Which part of the plant cell has starch?
Iodine binds to starch and would be primarily used to stain plant cells. The organelles that would be stained darkest would be the nucleus, amyloplast, which store starches, and chloroplasts which produce it.
A potato is a root of what plant?
It is a common misconception that potatoes are roots. They are actually tubers, and thus potatoes are a part of the potato plant. They are not the roots of any plant.
What plant part is yam's?
root. unlike potatoes which are tubers
From what part of the plant do potatoes grow?
The part that you eat is part of the root system and grows underground.
