Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
excess carbon dioxide
OxygenFood (glucose)Starch (excess food/glucose)
Photosynthesis produces glucose, a simple sugar, which is the main source of energy for plants. Glucose is used by plants for various metabolic processes, growth, and reproduction. Additionally, plants store excess glucose as starch, which serves as a reserve energy source.
Starch can be broken down into glucose by an enzyme. Glucose is then used for respiration which provides energy.

Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
Most plants store excess sugars by converting them to starch a long chain like molecule consisting of thousands of glucose molecules.
excess carbon dioxide
The body uses glucose as energy. Excess glucose is stored as fat (in animals) and as starch (in plants).
Yes, plants store excess glucose they don't need as starch so when there is no light the plant can survive of the excess starch but only for a certain amount of time.
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
Plants store glucose in the form of starch. Glucose is also converted to a range of other substances. Two notable examples are the conversion of glucose to fats/oils for seeds and the conversion of glucose to sucrose for transportation.
Glucose can be stored in plants in several ways. In some plants , the glucose molecules join to one another to form starch molecules. Some plants convert glucose to fructose and the energy is stored in this form. In other plants, fructose combines with glucose to form sucrose. The energy is stored in carbohydrates in this form. Plant cells obtain energy for their activities from these molecules.
