What are 3 things that are stored in the leucoplasts?
Leucoplast is a colourless plastid which stores starch
What are two forms of nutrition that are found in plant seeds?
I think it is sugar and 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.
What is the storage molecule made by glucose in plants?
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
Are potatoes unicellular or multicellular?
Yes. A potato plant is like any other flowering plant with many specialised cells. One cell organell (intra cellular body) which makes plant cells different from animal cells is the presence of chloroplasts the part of the cell which traps light and uses the energy to produce carbohydrates. In potato plants, the carbohydrate starch is stored in the tubers which we eat.

Why do you need to remove chlorophyll from a leaf when testing for starch?
Chlorophyll has a function of converting starch into glucose and other simpler plant products.Thats why we have to remove cholorphyll before starting a test for starch.

A leaf was taken from a plant boiled with ethanol and tested with iodine solution what is it tested for?
Starch, I think, because iodine solution is the test for starch.
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

Why does alcohol go green when testing for starch?
If you're talking about what I think you are, it's because the alcohol extracts the chlorophyll (which is green) from the plant cells.
Is corn a vegetable or starch?
Whether corn is classified as a starch or vegetable depends on the purpose of the classification. For culinary and cooking purposes, corn is a vegetable. In some diets, corn is considered a "starch" because it is high in carbohydrates. Such diets also classify vegetables such as green peas and baked beans as "starches," along with potatoes and other starchy vegetables. i think that corn is a starch, because corn is grass and it has grain.so the answer is starch i think
What is a starchy salad?

Is starch stored in the cell wall after photosynthesis?
There are several things that are stored in plant vacuoles. Water, food, and starch are all things that are stored in vacuoles.
Why should a positive result not be read before the incubation time is completed in a Starch agar test?
Okay I think I know how to answer this one; you want to give wait until the incubation time is completed for a starch agar test because the cells need to mature in order to produce the enzyme that breaks starch down into a usable form (since starch cannot enter the membrane without being simplified) I hope this helps
What is glucose the monomer for?
Starch and Glycogen is a polymer made up of glucose monomers. When you think of Starch, think of potatoes. When you think of Glycogen, think of your energy storage (it's actually a secondary storage)
