Plants store energy in the form of starch, a complex carbohydrate (polysaccharide).

This allows them to, on demand, break down the starch into simple sugars to be used for cellular fuel.

This is analogous to glycogen in animals.

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.

The proccess in a plant cells that cionverts energy from the sun into energy stored in food is?

The process in plant cells that converts energy from the sun into energy stored in food is called photosynthesis. During this process, chlorophyll in the chloroplasts captures sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This stored energy in the form of glucose can then be utilized by the plant for growth, reproduction, and metabolic activities.

Why does the new plant need stored food?

The new plant needs stored food to support its initial growth and development before it can produce its own energy through photosynthesis. During germination, the plant relies on the nutrients and energy stored in seeds to fuel processes like root and shoot development. This stored food ensures the plant has enough resources to establish itself and reach a stage where it can effectively harness sunlight for energy.


how much of the energy that the plant captures through photosynthesis ends up stored as starch in the kernel?

About 75-80% of the energy captured through photosynthesis in a plant ends up being stored as starch in the kernel. This starch serves as a source of energy for the plant and can be utilized for growth and reproduction.
