Glucose or simple,soluble sugar undergoes polymerization. Several glucose molecules are converted to complex starch, double sugar,i.e. sucrose,oils and plant proteins which are either used by plant cells or stored for future utilization.

What is a microcondria?
Nothing. Mitochondria are the cell's power producers. They convert energy into forms that are usable by the cell.
What gas do plants need to grow and survive?
A plant uses carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen. The glucose is then used in aerobic cellular respiration, which forms molecules of ATP, which provide energy for the cell's activities, including growth.
Glucose plus fructose forms a disaccharide called?
sucrose
What is the storage form of glucose used by animal cells?
The form of glucose used my plants is called starch, which is found in the cell wall of the plant, along with cellulose.
In what form do plants use nitrogen so they can make protein?
Plants can not absorb atmospheric elemental Nitrogen (N2). The nitrogen must be bound to carbon or hydrogen atoms such as ammonia (NH3), or Urea (NH2)2CO. Nitrogen Fixing Plants such as clover have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria on their root system that convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to forms that the plants can use.
What is the process called in which plants take carbon in unusable forms and convert it into forms that are usable by living organisms including the plants themselves?
Long question, short answer: photosynthesis. This process forms the organic molecules that are used by the rest of the living organisms.
What is carbohydrates known as in the body?
All forms of carbohydrate that you consume get converted into glucose. Glucose is the only carbohydrate that is usable to the human body.
What is the primary function of mitochrodria?
Mitochondria's main function is to convert energy into forms that are usable by the cell.
What is a microcondria?
Nothing. Mitochondria are the cell's power producers. They convert energy into forms that are usable by the cell.
How do plants benefit from the sun's energy?
Plants convert Solar Energy to Chemical Energy by the process of Photosynthesis. By then the synthesise glucose for their own use as energy and store them in different forms in their different parts.
Why are polymer forms of starch and glycogen utilized as storage forms of glucose by living cells rather than an equivalent amount of free glucose?
Glucose is osmotically actice since it is soluble. This increases the water content inside the cell, the cell eventually burst. Since glycogen and starch are insoluble it is better to convert glucose to starch (in plants) or glycogen (in animals).
What are the differences mitochondria and photosynthesis?
Mitochondria in animal cells convert energy into forms the animal cell can use whereas photosynthesis is the process plants use involving chloroplasts that convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into glucose, energy and oxygen.
Why can't plants take nitrogen from atmosphere directily?
Simple question, not so simple to answer. The only simple answer is that plants don't have the chemistry to convert nitrogen gas into usable nitrogen-containg salts. Only very simple forms of life have that ability/chemistry.
Why do plants consume nitrogen?
Nitrogen is considered to be a limiting factor for plants since it cannot be absorbed as a gas. Plants will use ammonia as their main source fro nitrogen.
