Plants capture energy from sunlight by means of photosynthesis. Using the green pigment in their leaves called chlorophyll, which makes sugar. They store the sugar primarily as starch. Storage in the form of fat / oil is common too, especially in seeds.
Animals mostly store excess sugar in body fat, and plants usually make fruit with excess sugar (as long as they have enough water).
What else can I help you with?
Animal cells store excess sugar in the form of a polysaccharide called starch?
Actually, animal cells store excess sugar in the form of glycogen, not starch. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a short-term energy storage molecule in animals, while starch is commonly found in plants for energy storage.
Animals are not able to make sugar because they dont have what organelle?
Animals do not have chloroplasts, the organelle responsible for photosynthesis and sugar production in plants. Therefore, animals cannot produce sugar like plants do. Instead, animals obtain sugar by consuming plants or other organisms.
What is excess glucose stored as?
glycogen
What plants do with the sugar they produce in photosynthesis?
Plants use the sugar they produce in photosynthesis as a source of energy for various biological processes, including growth, reproduction, and maintenance. Additionally, plants store excess sugar in the form of starch for later use, and some sugar is also used in building cell walls and structures.
Do plants use some of the sugar molecules they produce?
Yes, plants use some of the sugar molecules they produce through photosynthesis for energy to carry out their cellular functions. The sugars are used as fuel for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Additionally, plants also store excess sugar molecules as starch for later use.
Whahow do plants and animals store excess sugar?
starch
Is carbhydrates storage in both plants and animals?
Plants store carbohydrates as sugars and starches...cellulose is also a complex structural sugar. Animals store glycogen (a type of complexed sugar) in the liver and muscles for fast energy and convert excess carbohydrate to fat.
How do plants store excess sugar?
It saves it by stirring it in the leaf.
In what organ do animals store excess sugar?
Liver as glycogen
What is the name for a polysaccharide that plants use to store excess sugar?
starch
Where do we store our excess sugar?
Excess sugar is converted to fat and stored in fat cells.
Do plants store glycogen?
No, plants do not store glycogen. Instead, plants store carbohydrates in the form of starch, which is the primary energy reserve for plants. Glycogen is primarily found in animals, particularly in the liver and muscles, where it serves as a form of energy storage.
Animal cells store excess sugar in the form of a polysaccharide called starch?
Actually, animal cells store excess sugar in the form of glycogen, not starch. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a short-term energy storage molecule in animals, while starch is commonly found in plants for energy storage.
When plants store sugar what do they store it as?
protiens >:{)
Is sugar an animal by-product?
Not really, sugar is made by plants - animals eat the plants to get this sugar.
Does the liver store excess blood sugar as glycogen?
yes
How do animals excess sugars?
The sugar is converted and stored as fat.
