This is simple Biology and can be found in many books- such plants as lettuce, cabbage and spinach store food in their leaves and it's as simple as that!!!
Many succulent plants store water and nutrients in modified leaves.
Examples include Aloe, ice plant, Sedums and some Agaves.
example of food in leaves:
malunggay
pechay
cabbage
ampalaya
Storage food of plant is starch.
Cabbage
Sugar cane
Lettuce
In the leaf excess glucose is rapidly converted to starch. During photosynthesis, plants produce glucose and oxygen, reacting with water and carbon dioxide CO2. But during this process , plants often change some of the glucose into starch, for storage.
There are many types of plants that store their food in stems. Some of these include tubers such as carrots and radishes as well as desert cacti.
Most photosynthesis takes place in the leaves but there are plants that can preform some photosynthesis in their stems. Not woody plants though.
When the leaves finish with photosynthesis (the process of making food for the plant), they use phloem tubes, which are tubes carrying sugar and other minerals down from the leaves to the roots, the roots will save up the sugar (plant food) under the ground. Some plants store the bulbs in bulbs (e.g. onions), some will turn it into starch (e.g. potatoes), etc...
they need to have: a) less or no leaves to reduce transpiration rate b) having deep roots to enable them to get water deep within the soil. c) they store water in stems. ENJOY <3
Plants usually store food in their fruits and seeds such as many crop plants like wheat, pea, pegion pea etc; in the stem tubers like potato or in roots like sweet potato. Whether they store their food in roots or fruits depends on the plant.
Apart from making of food, leaves perform the following the functions: (1) Transpiration: This means evaporation of water from the leaves through stomata. transpiration gelps to cool down the temperature of the plant. (2) storage of Food: Some leaves also store food (like in some plants fruits store the food,in some stems and so on) . For example: spinach,etc.
Your MOM! HAHA obviously the grocery store!
water goes up the stem and the plant goes through some process. Then it goes up to the leaves.
In the leaf excess glucose is rapidly converted to starch. During photosynthesis, plants produce glucose and oxygen, reacting with water and carbon dioxide CO2. But during this process , plants often change some of the glucose into starch, for storage.
Some plants need to store extra food and water to help them survive brief changes in their environments.
Mealies, Avacado and appple store food in there fruits
roots
There are many types of plants that store their food in stems. Some of these include tubers such as carrots and radishes as well as desert cacti.
The color green in plants comes from the chlorophyll it uses to make food from the energy of the sun. Some plants are not green and can make the food they need themselves using nutrients in soil and water.
1. Leaves in plants photosynthesise, whereby they give out oxygen, which is used by animals in respiration. 2. Leaves are a source of food for some animals. (They eat leaves.)
Producers are plants. And plants make there own food going through the process of photosynthesis. The bi-product comes out to be glucose and oxygen. The glucose is plant food. So anyways, food producers are plants because plants are the only organisms that can make their own food!
