it is stored as starch or it is taken in the veins to other parts of the plant
Plants produce glucose and other more complex sugars by photosynthesis. They use some of it for cellular metabolism and store the rest for later use.
how do plants store glucose for later? if you know the answer, please click on the [improve] button and type it here, or go to the discussion page and type it there...thanks
Plants make different sugars including sucrose, dextrose and fructose.
Plants make glucose in the first instance. Most then convert this to starch for storage, but a few plants use other polysaccharides such as inulin.
starch
No. They store glucose as starch, once its been converted into cellulose the change is permanent.
glycogen
Plants store glucose in the form of starch. Glucose is also converted to a range of other substances. Two notable examples are the conversion of glucose to fats/oils for seeds and the conversion of glucose to sucrose for transportation.
Glucose can be stored in plants in several ways. In some plants , the glucose molecules join to one another to form starch molecules. Some plants convert glucose to fructose and the energy is stored in this form. In other plants, fructose combines with glucose to form sucrose. The energy is stored in carbohydrates in this form. Plant cells obtain energy for their activities from these molecules.
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
The glucose acts as an anti-freeze. That is why some fruits and vegetables taste better if there was some night frost during growth.
Plants store extra glucose as starch in various parts of their bodies, such as roots or stems. This stored energy can be used later for growth, reproduction, or defense mechanisms. In some cases, excess glucose may be converted into cellulose for cell wall construction.
sugar is suppose to help plants and veggeis grow because of the extra glucose
In their main central vacuole.
Corn plants does have glucose. Most of it comes from the leaves.
Glucose is found in both plants and animals. Plants produce glucose by photosynthesis, and animals consume glucose (it is the first reactant for cellular respiration).
Corn plants does have glucose. Most of it comes from the leaves.
Animals get the glucose in their cells through plants. They obtain the glucose by eating the plants and absorbing their glucose and energy.
