Why do most plants produce an excess of sugars in some months of the year?
Wiki User

Plants convert basic elements plus sunlight into sugars through photosynthesis.
This in effect captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy that can be transported, stored and used on demand by the plant.
The two main sugars that are produced are glucose and sucrose

Does chloroplasts make sugar from plants?
Chloroplasts produce sugars by photosynthesis.Mitochondria utilize sugars in respiration.
What do plants use during photosynthesis to make sugars and starches?
Plants use carbon dioxide and water and produce glucose and oxygen in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
How do plants prepare their food?
plants make their own food by photosynthisis which uses the suns energy to produce sugars to make food
How do plants obtain sugars?
Plants manufacture carbohydrates (sugars) through photosynthesis.
How do animals and plants store excess sugar?
Plants capture energy from sunlight by means of photosynthesis. Using the green pigment in their leaves called chlorophyll, which makes sugar. They store the sugar primarily as starch. Storage in the form of fat / oil is common too, especially in seeds. Animals mostly store excess sugar in body fat, and plants usually make fruit with excess sugar (as long as they have enough water).
Do plants use sugars they produce as food?
Yes, part of these sugars is used up by plants during respiration.
Do plants use light energy to produce sugars?
yes
What do land plants do with excess energy?
Land plants generate the energy they need for their metabolic energy by converting their light energy to metabolic enrgy or so called chemical energy.
Plants strore excess sugur as?
Most plants store excess sugars by converting them to starch a long chain like molecule consisting of thousands of glucose molecules.
What captures solar energy and uses photosynthesis to produce sugars?
Plants do this in the chloroplasts in their green leaves.
What are two ways protists are like plants?
they trap the suns energy and produce sugars
Where are leftover sugars from photosynthesis stored in plants?
There is no specific place which could be generalized for all plants. However, all fruit producing plants store excess sugars in fruits. It is stored in roots of plants with edible roots such as carrot and beetroot. It is also stored in stems of certain plants and in leaves of some plants.
Does chloroplasts make sugar from plants?
Chloroplasts produce sugars by photosynthesis.Mitochondria utilize sugars in respiration.
Can a plant make food?
Yes plants use light energy to produce simple sugars
What do most plants we eat produce?
Sugars in the form of polymers that our digestive system can use (starches).
During photosynthesis plants make food from carbon dioxide and?
Plants use sunlight, CO2 and H2O to produce sugars (food).
How does energy from animals come originally from the sun?
Animals get their energy from other animals that have eaten plants or from plants themselves. Plants get their energy to produce sugars from the sun.
