How do plants store extra sugar?
In their main central vacuole.
What is the function of starch in animals?
Starch is a polysaccharide, thus it is made up of many molecules of monosaccharides (glucose). THis allows it to be consumed then reduced to glucose to provide energy for the organism. It is how plants store their energy.
What is the storage form of glucose used by animal cells?
The form of glucose used my plants is called starch, which is found in the cell wall of the plant, along with cellulose.
How do plants store energy they do not need immediately?
Planst store their energy in the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, or nucleus.
What happens to people who develop extra fat cells?
They get fat.
What molecules do mammals use to store extra glucose as what plants use?
glycogen
What is glucose produce for?
the plants will produce glucose if there is any extra food as food comes in sugar and when it is combined with water plus oxygen, it turns to glucose
What is the storage form of glucose?
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
Plants store extra glucose in the form of?
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.
Which molecule do plants use to store extra glucose?
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.
Where do plants store extra glucose?
The glucose acts as an anti-freeze. That is why some fruits and vegetables taste better if there was some night frost during growth.
What effect does sugar water have on vegetables?
sugar is suppose to help plants and veggeis grow because of the extra glucose
How do plants store extra sugar?
In their main central vacuole.
Why is it important for a plant to be able to store extra glucose?
Plants store glucose as starch for the nighttime hours when photosynthesis cannot occur. Most green plant cells only store enough starch to last the night. This is to allow for the majority of sugar to be sent to sink tissues (roots and flowers). Most annual plants will allow the majority of the vegetative tissue to die, if it means that healthy seed can be produced.
In what form do plants store extra carbohydrates?
It is usually stored as a simple sugar known as glucose. When the food is created, the plant can either consume it right away or store it. If it consumes it, then it is starch.
What molecule do mammals use to store extra glucose in their muscles?
Glycogen is the molecule used to store extra glucose into a MAMMAL'S muscles.
What happens to accumulated lactic acid when oxygen is present?
Lactic acid diffuses into the bloodstream, and carried to the liver. Here, it's converted back into glucose, but in order to do this, extra energy is required, and as such extra oxygen is needed.
