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.

∙ 13y agoyes leaves have starch in them and starch is used for food and energy and when it has too much starch they store it in there seeds for their babies.

∙ 14y agoThe plants store food in the form of starchand the food is stored primarily on leaves
Wiki User
∙ 12y agobecause it is a source of food for them :P

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 plant produce starch?
In order for plants to make starch, they need some vital factors including; chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and light. Light turns into chemical energy by chlorophyll or chloroplasts (organelles) which forms a chemical reaction that is stored as glucose, the glucose then turns into starch. light Carbon dioxide + water >>>>>>>>>>> Glucose + oxygen
Carbohydrates are stored as?
in the form of starch
What part of the flower where food is stored as starch?
Starch is stored in the stem and tap roots of flowers.
Is there starch in xylem?
no Starch is not stored in xylem. It is responsible for transportation
What types of substances are stored by plants?
starch is one substance stored in plants because starch is not osmotically active
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?

Why do plants produce glucose?
plants produce glucose because it is there source of food for energy
What plant organ is modified to produce onion bulbs?
The bulb of an onion is formed from modified leaves. While photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of an onion containing chloroplast, the little glucose that is produced from this process is converted in to starch (starch granules) and stored in the bulb.
What is source of starch?
Starch is produced in green plants and used as stored energy. It is synthesized in the leaves. Some foods that are in the starch category are corn, pasta, grains, and potatoes.

Explain how the cells in the leaves are adapted to their jobs?
they nake starch and produce energy for the plant.
What do plants do with the extra food they produce?
Any extra energy (food) which is left over is stored as starch
Why do green leaves turn blue black when iodine is added?
because the leaves have photosynthesized- glucose is produced. therefore, the excess glucose is converted to starch. The starch is then stored in the leaf-starch is what causes the "green" leaf to turn blue black, as iodine turns blue-black when it reacts with starch.:P
