Is it true that some of the glucose or sugar is made into other compounds such as cellulose while some of the sugar is stored in the plant's cells for later use?

What other plant foods and chemical are made from glucose?
they can make food with itAnswer:Along with being the stored energy source for plants, they also polymerize glucose into cellulose the main building material for the plants branches and stalks
Why are plants energy converters?
Plants use photosynthesis to turn sunlight (radiant energy, light) into chemical energy, which is stored in organic compounds such as sugars, starches, and cellulose.
Where would you look to find cellulose?
Celllulose is stored in the cell wall of the plant
Why do glycogen starch and cellulose have different functions?
starch: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) Cellulose: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by a beta 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) glycogen: made up of a long chain of glucose bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. However, the glycogen chain of glucoses is a branched chain- it is not one straight chain, it branches out starch is stored as glucose in plants glycogen is stored as glucose in animals cellulose is used as the cell wall of plants
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
What energy plants gain through photosynthesis is stored in?
carbohydrates; like glucose, starch, and cellulose.

carbohydrates; like glucose, starch, and cellulose.

What do glycogen cellulose and starch all have in common?
Starch and cellulose are two common carbohydrates. Both are macromolecules with molecular weights in the hundreds of thousands. Both are polymers (hence "polysaccharides"); that is, each is built from repeating units, monomers, much as a chain is built from its links. The monomers of both starch and cellulose are the same: units of the sugar glucose. Starch contains alpha-glucose as monomer, whereas cellulose contains beta-glucose.
Excess glucose in most complex plants is stored as?
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 glucose stored as in plants?
Sugar=glucose
What is one of two monosaccharides made by plants?
Plants make different sugars including sucrose, dextrose and fructose.

Made and stored by plants?
glucose

Some energy of sunlight is not stored in glucose but converted to what?
Cellulose and proteins (for the plant to grow).
