Roots where it can be kept moist for use

-------------------------------

Also:

The sugars (also called photosynthates) are also stored in parenchyma cells in the rays of the plant. The ray parenchyma are alive in the first several growth rings of the sapwood, in from the phloem. (I like that word) As you get closer to the center of the tree (the pith) the contents of the parenchyma gradually changes into various organic chemicals called extractives and thus the heartwood is formed.

In the temperate zones, when the first spring growth begins at the tip of the tree (the apical meristem) hormones are released and flow down the tree to these storage cells (parenchyma) and the sugars actually can flow in the reverse direction, back towards the phloem (inner bark) and be transported to needed sites to "jump start" the growth cycle.

Phloem (there's that word again)

What happens to the sugar that is produced by photosynthesis?

The sugar produced by photosynthesis is used as an energy source for the plant to carry out its various functions, such as growth, maintenance, and reproduction. It can also be stored in different parts of the plant, such as the roots, stems, or leaves, as starch for future use. Additionally, some of the sugar may be used to produce other compounds needed by the plant for various metabolic processes.


How is excess sugar produced during photosynthesis converted into starch?

Excess sugar produced during photosynthesis is converted into starch through a process called polymerization. Enzymes like starch synthase help link glucose molecules together to form starch chains. This starch is stored in plant cells and serves as an energy reserve for the plant.


Why does sugar cane produce sugar?

Sugar cane produces sugar through the process of photosynthesis, where it absorbs sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Glucose is then stored as sucrose in the plant's sap, which can be extracted and processed into sugar. The high levels of sucrose in sugar cane make it an ideal crop for sugar production.


In what plant cell structure is water stored?

Water is stored in the vacuole of a plant cell.


Where is the energy stored by photosynthesis?

The energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds in molecules such as glucose, which is produced during the process of photosynthesis. This stored energy can then be used by the plant for various metabolic processes or transferred to other organisms when they consume the plant material.

What happens to a excess sugar when produced in a plant?

Excess sugar produced in a plant is often converted into starch for storage in roots, tubers, and seeds. This stored energy can be used later by the plant during periods of low sunlight or as a source of energy for growth and reproduction.


What is the call of sugar in the plant?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce sugar (glucose) using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This sugar is then stored or used as energy for the plant's growth and metabolism.


What is the purpose for sugar in cell?

If you are asking about plant cells, then sugars are stored, along with salts, in the vacuole, for food for the plant. &:-)
