What organelle is responsible in storing starch in the plant cell?
Leucoplast -no it is not. it is the cytoplasm. -no it is neither plastid to be correct.
What is the purpose of a potato?
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.
Plant cells use specific organelles for photosynthesis in order to produce glucose Plant cells contain another organelle that functions as a storage tank for excess glucose or starch That is the?
chloroplast
What does amyloplast do?
Amyloplast is also called leucoplast. It is a nonpigmented organelle, or plastid, occurring in the cytoplasm of plant cells. It transforms glucose (which is a simple sugar) into starch. The process of doing this is called polymerization. Amyloplast stores starch grains within their streched membranes. They also can transform starch into sugar when the plant needs energy.
What is the function of the amyloplast in plant cell?
Amyloplast (Starch Grain): A membrane-bound organelle containing concentric layers of starch (amylopectin). This organelle is commonly found in subterranean storage organs, such as tubers (potatoes), corms (taro & dasheen), and storage roots (sweet potatoes). Amyloplasts are also found in bananas and other fruits. So Basically it makes and stores starch.Hope this helps
What organelle serves as the skeleton in the plant cell?
The Cell wall
What is luceoplast?
A colourless organelle found in plant cells and used for storing starch or oil.
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.
What organelle is responsible in storing starch in the plant cell?
Leucoplast -no it is not. it is the cytoplasm. -no it is neither plastid to be correct.
What organelle uses water?
Plant cells contain a central vacuole that makes up most of the volume of a plant cell & is used for storing water & starch.

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.

Which organelle would you find in plant cells but not in animal cells?
Chloropalsts. They are the ones who do the process of photosynthesis. An animal cell does not have them.
What are chroloplasts and where are they located?
It is a organelle. An organelle of plant cells.
