Glucose is soluble in water and starch is insoluble in water. So for storage in a rather wet medium such as a plant cell, glucose is changed to insoluble starch. When the plant needs glucose for respiration or other processes it changes the starch back to soluble glucose for transportation in solution through the phloem system.

What is the food stored by a plant in the form of sugar or starch?
Starch
Which plant stores a lot of starch?
The Davidgrace plant
What is the colour for a plant cell's starch grains?
what is the color of the starch grain
Why to destarch a plant?
a leaf (plant) should be destarched before photosynthesis investigations because the starch already present in the plant may mislead the result . hence if a destarched plant is used for the experiment then the amount of starch present at the time of the experiment will be nil and affter the experiment is compleded the amount of starch present in the leaves woul give the rate of photodynthesis as starch id prepared during photosynthesis
The food manufactured by the process of photosynthesis is stored by the plant as?
Plants store excess food in the form of starch.
Which gas does plant need to make starch?
Carbon dioxide, of course. Starch is a polymer of glucose.
Does chicken meat have starch?
No. Only plants can contain/make starch. If the chicken for instance eats corn (which comes from a plant) the starch will be in their body but will be broken down for energy, but if they don't need that starch it turn into fat.
What are the uses of starch in the plant?
the starch is for food when needed
What is the food stored by a plant in the form of sugar or starch?
Starch
What does de-starch mean?
Destarching occurs when part of a plant is "deprived of starch, as by translocation". It is also the process of eliminating starch reserves in a plant for experiments
What is the functions of the starch in a plant cell?
The starch grains mainly contain starch which is produced from photosynthesis
Which plant stores a lot of starch?
The Davidgrace plant
Why doesn't a plant produce as much starch in the absence of water as it does in the presence of water?
In order to produce starch, a plant has to combine water and the sugar it produces. Without water, a plant cannot produce starch.
What is the colour for a plant cell's starch grains?
what is the color of the starch grain
What does starch mean?

What does the starch grains do in the plant cell?
starch grains store food for plant cell .the starch grain just re-produces on and on. but like the Amyloplast, amyloplast gives away starch grain in its cell.
What contains starch in a plant cell?
what is the name of the plant cell that contains starch and what does it do
