Do all plant roots make food for the plant?

No, plant roots do not make food for the plant through photosynthesis. Instead, roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil to support the plant's growth and metabolism. Photosynthesis, the process of producing food from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, primarily takes place in the leaves of the plant.


What happens to any glucose that is not used in a plant?

Unused glucose in a plant is stored as starch in various plant parts, such as roots, stems, or leaves. This stored starch can later be converted back to glucose to provide energy for the plant's growth and development.


Is the energy stored in food heat energy?

Energy is stored in many ways. Energy is stored in food. We eat the food to get energy. Energy can also be stored in other ways, such as batteries.Sources of stored energy take many forms like food, fuel and batteries. All energy on the Earth comes from the Sun.Heat from the sun warms everything on the Earth. Light and heat are forms of energy, which come directly from the Sun. Plants, use the energy from sunlight to make food. Energy from the sun is stored in leaves, stems, roots and fruits. When an animal eats plants it gets the energy stored inside the plant.Animals eat plants and get the energy stored in plant tissues. They utilize this energy for various activities like running, climbing, hunting and keeping warm. Food we eat contains energy to power our bodies.Fuels such as oil and coal contain huge amounts of energy. Energy released from these fuels, wind and water can be changed into electricity. Energy is needed for almost all activities that make up our lives.thank u . . :-)


What do most green plants store their food as?

their chloroplast take sunlight, and make it into energy, then make energy into food.... so they store there food as either: a. energy b. food


What happends to food energy during photosynthesis?

During photosynthesis, plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The energy from the food is stored in the glucose molecule for later use by the plant, while oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere.

What happens to the left over food made by a plant?

If it is not used to make energy or structures, it is usually stored in the form of a polysaccharide (complex sugar) such as starch.


Does a seed need to make food?

What are the daily changes of seed after sown in the soil?

Life cycle of seed : Seed Coat - Protects the inside of the seed. Embryo - the beginning of the new plant. Endosperm - Stored food in a monocotyledon. Stored Food - a plant uses stored food until it grows leaves that can make food. Monocot - a type of seed that has only one cotyledon. Dicot - a type of seed that has two cotyledons. Cotyledon - Leaf-like structure that absorbs and digest food stored in the seed. Germination - the process of growing a new plant from a seed.

What happens to food during photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis uses light energy along with carbon dioxide to make molecules, or food energy. This food energy is stored in chemical bonds.
