YES! Sugar, for example, is such a high energy source, especially for use in the human body. Having a chemical formula consisting of six carbons, twelve hydrogens, and six oxygens, glucose has high potential energy stored in its bonds. The bonds that house this energy are those between carbon and hydrogen. Six carbons with 12 corresponding hydrogens is a ton of energy for the body to use. It is so much that the energy must be broken-down and stripped before any direct use in the body.

Why does the potato plant store starch and not sugar?
The potato does not store sugar because there is no sugar in it. The plant has starch in it which is then turned into "sugar" when it is eaten and digested. -when starch is digested, it turns to glucose. The organelle holding the startch grains are called leucoplasts.

potato amalayze- an enzyme that is in saliva to break down starch into sugar- would break down the potato in your mouth!
What plastid is found in potato?
Potato contains amyloplasts, which are a type of plastid specialized for starch storage. These amyloplasts store energy in the form of starch granules, which provides the potato with a source of nutrients during growth and development.
