What happens to a excess sugar when produced in a plant?
Excess sugar is stored as starch, long chain carbohydrates, in the plant.
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 is the food stored by a plant in the form of sugar or starch?
Starch
What happens to glucose that is not used for any respiration inside plant cells?
Glucose that is not used for structural carbohydrates or other functions such as recognition molecules is often metabolized for chemical energy or stored as starch for later energy utilization.
Describe how tubers store starch in organelles?
First, the plant undergoes photosynthesis, as normal. Once the glucose is produced, it is turned into starch through a process called polymerization. This happens in the organelle known as the amyloplast. Once the amyloplast has turned the glucose into starch, it moves the starch to the stroma, which is the sponge-like material that gives support to the plant cell. The starch is stored here, until the plant needs the energy, at which point the starch gets turned back into glucose and is used to provide energy to the plant.

Starch
Where in the plant cell is carbohydrates stored?
starch
What happens to most of the glucose made by the plant?
Glucose is used to create the ATP used by cells for energy. A lot of it's created before the plant can use it, though, so it's compacted and stored as starch.
What happens to the sugars that are made during photosynthesis?
The sugar that is produced during photosynthesis, which is called starch, is used for the plant's metabolic processes. Excessive starch is stored in the leaves in the form of glucose.
What does the seed of a plant contain to form a new plant?
It contains starch which was stored there by the plant it was dispersed by.. .
How carbohydrates are stored in plant?
they are turned into starch which is not soluble in water.
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 glucose that is not used for any respiration inside plant cells?
Glucose that is not used for structural carbohydrates or other functions such as recognition molecules is often metabolized for chemical energy or stored as starch for later energy utilization.
This developing plant uses starch stored in the seed as a source of energy during germination This stored starch is a by-product of?
The stored starch is a by-product of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces glucose; plants can convert and store excess glucose as starch. Both sugar and starch are types of carbohydrates.
What happens to the left over food made by a plant?
If it is not used to make energy or structures, it is usually stored in the form of a polysaccharide (complex sugar) such as starch.
