Starch can be broken down into glucose by an enzyme. Glucose is then used for respiration which provides energy.

Which is the main energy reserve in plants?
The internal energy reserve is starch in plantsSTARCH : actually these starch are excess carbohydrates which are stored in the plant bodyBut in case of animals we have a similar type of storing energy called glycogen but not as same as in the plantsGLYCOGEN : they are stored forms of energy in animals
What is the energy storing molecule created during photosynthesis?
during synthesis, ATP, excess get's stored as glucose. glucose store as starch
Why is starch an indirect measurement of photosynthesis?
Starch is a plants way of storing energy, why it is not a way of measurement as starch levels is determined by how much extra light, once the plant receives enough light it will turn glucose into starch. Starch levels however could be used for the opposite, by measuring starch & glucose you can work out the rate of respiration, just not photosynthesis.
What does starch do?
Starch creates fat that run through your blood vessels. There are many different types of food containing starch like wheat, bread, fruit
Which two macromolecules are responsible for storing and releasing energy?
Lipids are responsible for storing of energy. I hope it help
What is the energy storing polysacharide of plants?
Starch.
Animal cells store excess sugar in the form of a polysaccharide called starch?
Starch is stored by plants.Animals' storing carbohydrate is glycogen.

What is the role starch?
Starch molecules are an efficient way of storing excess carbohydrate in a compact form. Starches are the major source of energy in foods like potato, rice and breads.

Is photosynthesis an energy storing reaction?
During photosynthesis, glucose is manufactured from CO2 and water. This glucose is stored in the chloroplasts as starch grains, hence the name 'energy storage reaction' for describing photosynthesis.
What are the purposes of a disaccharide?
Disaccharides provide a way of storing energy for future use. Apart from being broken down to release the stored energy, they are also used to form more complex forms of starch.
What does starch do?

How does the starch in the potato help the potato plant?
Starch is a way of storing chemical energy for laster use; like freezing fuel into solid pieces which can be thawed and burnt or used in vehicles later on.
How is starch in plants?
The plant makes starch by joining up sugar molecules. The starch is therefore an energy/food store for the plant.
Describe another way of storing energy becides increcing elevation?
You can also increase an object's speed. Other options include heating an object up, storing energy in electric or magnetic fields, storing energy as chemical energy in a battery.You can also increase an object's speed.
