What compound is formed from photosynthesis that stores energy?
glucose
What Organic compound that is used to store energy and forms important parts of biological membranes?
Cell membranes are phospholipids not proteins. Proteins are not used as energy stores by living things. Energy stores are sugars and fats.
What tissue stores energy?
In animals fats, in plants oils and starch grains.
How do plants get sunlight?
Plants get energy from sunlight through a process called photosynthesis, where the plant absorbs the light, produces sugars and carbohydrates, stores that energy in the root system and produces more foliage and flowers.Answer this question…
Is a polysaccharide a carbohydrate?
Yes, a polysaccharide is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates have a ratio of 2 hydrogen to 1 oxygen. Examples of polysaccharides include cellulose, which is in plant cell walls, starch, which stores energy in plants, glycogen, which stores energy in animals, and chitin, which is in exoskeletons. Hope that helps!

What compound in plants makes photosynthesis possible?
Chlorophyll is the compound in plants that makes photosynthesis possible. It has a unique structure that allows it to lose electrons easily when it gets excited by energy. This is where the conversion from light energy to chemical energy begins.
Electron carrier that stores energy used to make ATP?
NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an electron carrier that stores energy in the form of high-energy electrons and is involved in the process of oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP.
What is the breakdown of Adenosinetriophosphate?
A compound derived from nucleic acid it stores energy in muscles.
What organic compound stores and releases short term energy?
Carbohydrates function in short-term energy storage (such as sugar).
What does the chlorophyll plants do?
Absorbs and stores light energy for creating food for the plant.
An energy storing compound that cannot mix with water?
A hydrophobic compound that simultaneously stores energy would be a hydrocarbon. There are several types of hydrocarbons, but oil is distinct in being unmixable with water.
