Most of the starch stored in the cells of a potato is composed of molecules that originally entered these cells as what?
simple sugars
Why does the potato plant store starch and not sugar?
The potato does not store sugar because there is no sugar in it. The plant has starch in it which is then turned into "sugar" when it is eaten and digested. -when starch is digested, it turns to glucose. The organelle holding the startch grains are called leucoplasts.
A type of sugar stored by plants?
Glucose is stored in starch molecules.
What is the storage molecule made by glucose in plants?
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
Where is glucose in a plant stored?
Glucose that is not utilized immediately for the plants growth are stored. The unused glucose is converted to starch molecules and stored throughout the cytoplasm

Why is starch found in plants?
Glucose for energy is stored as starch in plants. The glucose molecules join up to form starch molecules.

Glucose is stored in starch molecules.
What kind of stored food do you get when you eat a potato?
Mainly starch.
Corn and potato plants are good examples of stored starch?
True
A cell organelle that releases energy from stored food molecules?
Mitochondria
Why is the potato rich in starch?
The part of the potato that we eat is a root, in which the potato plant has stored nutrients for its own use. Starch is a convenient nutrient with which to store calories that the plant can use to grow. We, of course, can also use starch for our own purposes.

Where do plants store glucose in?
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.

Glucose molecules that are produced by green plants can be?
converted into starch by dehydration synthesis and stored in root
