The potato does not store sugar because there is no sugar in it. The plant has starch in it which is then turned into "sugar" when it is eaten and digested. -when starch is digested, it turns to glucose. The organelle holding the startch grains are called leucoplasts.

What is the Main biomolecule in potatoes?
Potato is composite of relatively high amount of starch and sugar. Longer you store potato or more mature the potato gets, the starch are converted into sugar. Potato peel contains very trace amount of protein.
What do plants store as food?
sugar The plant store food in the form of non-soluble sugar (starch), proteins and fats.
The food manufactured by the process of photosynthesis is stored by the plant as?
Plants store excess food in the form of starch.
What form of sugar do plants store their food as?
Plants store their sugar in another form called complex sugar or starch. They do this because starch is soluble and is able to be transported easily.
Sugars are stored as this?
When plants store sugar they store it as food

What do amyloplasts store in potato cells?
Amyloplasts are used for the synthesis and storage of starch. Proteins are usually stored in the Golgi Apparatus. As for the plants oils, that is different depending on the plant.
Where do plants store starch?
Plants manufacture glucose as a result of photosynthesis. Glucose is a simple sugar, but the plant cannot store it as glucose, because it takes up too much room. Instead, the plant produces starch, which is basically glucose without some water. This process is called dehydration synthesis, and it allows the plant to store the sugar it needs more efficiently. Humans and other animals, on the other hand, store sugar differently. We can't store glucose either, nor can we store starch because we're not plants; but we can store glucose as glycogen. Both starch and glycogen are polysaccharides, and both are formed by dehydration synthesis.
What do plants store as food?

What contains sugar and starch?
a sweet potato ?
The food manufactured by the process of photosynthesis is stored by the plant as?
Plants store excess food in the form of starch.
What tissue of a plant stores sugar and starches?
potato, wheat for starch and fruit for sugars

Sugars are stored as this?
When plants store sugar they store it as food
What is the food stored by a plant in the form of sugar or starch?
Starch
What are starch and sugars examples of?
carbohydrates
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.
