All living creatures use glucose as basic fuel for energy. Even though plants don't move around much, they do use energy to grow, respirate, process nutrients into building materials, reproduce.

Plants use sugars like foods.

plants use sugar like foods because in that resources they can get a nutrients like carbon dioxide,so they are able to use sugar as their food, because without this. the plants are nothing because the sugar is their one and only food.

Plants get their sugar, called glucose, from water and Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and sunlight. Through Photosynthesis, CO2 and water have their individual atoms rearranged, making Oxygen and Glucose. They use the Glucose to carry out basic life functions to respirate and grow.

Where do plants store chemical energy?

Plants store chemical energy in sugar molecules. Plants go through photosynthesis in order to grow and store the food they need.


How do animals and plants store excess sugar?

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).


How do plants store extra sugar?

In their main central vacuole.


Plants that store food as sugar?

plants store their food in their leaves, roots and stems. they make their food by photosynthesis: carbon dioxide + water (+ light energy) = Glucose + oxygen


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.
