The glucose acts as an anti-freeze. That is why some fruits and vegetables taste better if there was some night frost during growth.
glycogen
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
Plants store glucose in the form of starch. Glucose is also converted to a range of other substances. Two notable examples are the conversion of glucose to fats/oils for seeds and the conversion of glucose to sucrose for transportation.
In their main central vacuole.
Glycogen is the molecule used to store extra glucose into a MAMMAL'S muscles.
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.
It is usually stored as a simple sugar known as glucose. When the food is created, the plant can either consume it right away or store it. If it consumes it, then it is starch.
how do plants store glucose for later? if you know the answer, please click on the [improve] button and type it here, or go to the discussion page and type it there...thanks
The product of photosynthesis is glucose (sugar). Plants store it as starch.
Glucose can be stored in plants in several ways. In some plants , the glucose molecules join to one another to form starch molecules. Some plants convert glucose to fructose and the energy is stored in this form. In other plants, fructose combines with glucose to form sucrose. The energy is stored in carbohydrates in this form. Plant cells obtain energy for their activities from these molecules.
no
Plants store glucose for later use.
