Starch is stored in the stem and tap roots of flowers.
in the stem of the plant
Potatoes are considered stems and not roots, because they are the part of the stem of the plant that grows underground, it's the part of the stem that thickens and accumulate starch.
in potatoes right below the skin and in onions it is stored in the leaves of them
Yes
some of the sugar is consumed by the plant while the remaining sugar is left at the stem to be stored as starch
Starch is stored in the stem and tap roots of flowers.
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
in the stem of the plant
NOpe... it's a starch - which is extracted from the stem of the palm plant.
They store glucose by converting them into cellulose which is also used to maintain the plants cells walls. Starch is stored in a plants stem, its roots and leaves. Plants store glucose as they are the main source of energy. The converted glucose either it's in the form of starch or cellulose can be used by some animals as it can be easily digested.

It is a good food and they are neat. In a potato plant; the potato is serves as a tuber. This is a specialized underground stem which allows the plant to store nutrients in the form of starch. After cold periods or dry months the plant uses this starch to regrow. food.
The tuber family is actually a part of the plant family. The characteristics of the tuber family is that they were grown underground & it has swollen underground stem. Potatoes, yam & sweet potatoes etc. are from the tuber family because they were grown underground & it has swollen underground stem.
The rhizome is a creeping underground stem of some plants. A rhizome is thick and swollen and acts as a food store. Iris is an example of a rhizomatous plant.
Celery is a vegetable. It is just the swollen petiole (part of the leaf) of the plant.
