What is excess food made by the plant converted to?
The food not useed by plants are surely not wasted. They are kept for future reuse."Imaginehow resourceful plants are than humans!"
Where do plants store glucose in?
Plants store glucose in the form of starch. Starch is primarily stored in specialized plant structures called amyloplasts, which are commonly found in seeds, tubers, roots, and stems. When plants need energy, they can break down starch into glucose to fuel various cellular processes.
What is the main function in starch in plants?
The main function of starch in plants is to store energy.
What polysaccharides do plants store in plastids?
Plants store glucose polymers as starch in their plastids, such as chloroplasts and amyloplasts. Starch serves as a reserve energy source that can be broken down into glucose when needed for growth or metabolism.
Is starch stored in leaves of some plants?
after the plant photosynthesises, it has some left over glucose that the leaves covert into starch. The starch is then stored in the chlorophyl (the green pigment in the leaves). At night or in the dark, the plant can't photosynthesise so it respires the stored starch instead
What will happen to the sugar made by the plants?
converted to starch and stored
What is excess food made by the plant converted to?

Which plants contain more starch the ones that get no sunlight or the ones that do?
Photosynthesis is the prosess plants use to convert sunlight energy into sugar energy or starch, therefore, the more sunlight a plant gets, the more energy is converted and the more starch it stores
Does starch come from a plant?
Yes, starch naturally occurs in plants. It is a carbohydrate that can be converted into sugar through photosynthesis. Conversion of Starch into sugar (i. e. conversion of polysaccharides into di- saccharides) does not require photosynthesis.
What substance can a plant make as a store of energy?
Most plants store energy in the form of starch. The process of photosynthesis allows plants to convert the sun's energy into glucose, which is then converted into starch. The plant can then break the starch back down whenever energy is needed.
What is the primary energy conversion that occurs when plants produce sugar?
light energy is converted to chemical energy i.e. sunlight is converted to starch during photosynthesis.
What do leaves produce that is stored in starch?
In the leaf excess glucose is rapidly converted to starch. During photosynthesis, plants produce glucose and oxygen, reacting with water and carbon dioxide CO2. But during this process , plants often change some of the glucose into starch, for storage.
Which plants store starch?
All green plants store starch
What substances is glucose converted into in the seed of a plant?
glucose, starch starch and glucose (:
What happens to starch in banana when it gose from green to ripe?
The starch is converted into glucose.
Where do plants store glucose in?

Excess glucose in most complex plants is stored as?
They store glucose by converting them into cellulose which is also used to maintain the plants cells walls. Starch is stored in a plants stem, its roots and leaves. Plants store glucose as they are the main source of energy. The converted glucose either it's in the form of starch or cellulose can be used by some animals as it can be easily digested.
