Sugars are not stored in plants but may be held in the vacuole.
Starch (glucose polymers) are stored, throughout the plant but particularly in roots where they can form starchy tubers such as potatoes.

∙ 14y agoPlant cells contain small organelles called chloroplasts, which are where the pigment chlorophyll - which gives plants their characteristic green colour - is concentrated. This essential chemical reflects light - and other radiation outside the spectrum of visible light - at specific frequencies which can be used by the plant cell in a complex series of chemical reactions called the Calvin Cycle (after the scientist who first described it) to form sugar molecules from carbon dioxide and water. This is the fundamental reaction essential for plants to live and grow; and its by-product is oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere.

What are Phloem cells?
Phloem cells are living vascular cells that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant.
How is excess sugar produced during photosynthesis converted into starch?
Excess sugar produced during photosynthesis is converted into starch and stored in different parts of a plant.
Where do you get chlorophyll?
chlorophyll is located and produced in the chloroplasts in plant cells; plants do not 'get' chlorophyll, they produce it themselves.
What organelles is composed of the sugar cellulose and functions to give plant cells support?
The plant cell wall is made of cellulose and functions in the support of plant cells.
How can cell store the sugar that is produced in photosynthesis?
Cells can store the sugar produced in photosynthesis by ATP 1) be broken down by the mitochondria to supply energy to the cell. 2) be linked together in long chains to form cellulose and build the plant cell wall. 3) be moved to another part of the plant for energy, or moved to the root system for storage (in the form of starch).
Are onion cells produced by animal or plant cells?
By Plants.
What is the name for the sugar produced in a plant?
Glucose.
Where in a sunflower are sugar molecules produced?
As in all plants in the chloroplasts in cells. Most of this happens in the leaves, but can occur in any green part of the plant.
When sugar is separated from the plant which produced it you call this type of sugar?
Glucose
How can cells store the sugar the is produced in photosynthesis?
Cells can store the sugar produced in photosynthesis by ATP 1) be broken down by the mitochondria to supply energy to the cell. 2) be linked together in long chains to form cellulose and build the plant cell wall. 3) be moved to another part of the plant for energy, or moved to the root system for storage (in the form of starch).
Why plant cells produce sugar?
FOOD!
What Plant leaf cells produce?
sugar
What happen to the sugar that is produced to the leaf?
sugar is carried to the different parts of the plant
What happens to a excess sugar when produced in a plant?
Excess sugar is stored as starch, long chain carbohydrates, in the plant.
Do plant cells use sugar for food?
yes
Plant cells change starch into sugar?
False
How do root cells in a plant get sugar?
THEY GET IT BY getting. Sunlight
