Excess food from photosynthesis is stored in parenchyma cells in the stem and also in the roots.

What is the function of stored foods in plants?

Stored foods in plants serve as reserves of energy and nutrients that can be used during times of limited resources, such as in periods of dormancy or when resources for growth and reproduction are scarce. These stored foods can be mobilized to support new growth, seed germination, or for survival during stressful conditions.


How is energy stored in a food chain?

Energy is stored in a food chain through the process of photosynthesis and chemical energy stored within plants. This energy is transferred to herbivores when they consume the plants, and then to carnivores when they consume the herbivores. The energy is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.


Why do the new plants need stored food?

Newly germinated plants need stored food from sources like seed endosperm to support initial growth and development until they can photosynthesize and produce their own food. This stored food helps the plant establish roots, form leaves, and grow enough to become self-sustaining through photosynthesis.


Why do plants transport and store food?

All plants store food in their different parts & in different forms .For example - potato (a stem) is a form of stored food . Plants store food to have sufficient energy for their metabolism in case of shortage of food ,for example - if there is less amount of water or sunlight then plants will be unable to manufacture food with the help of photosynthesis.The amount of food stored depends upon the abiotic factors , in other words their surrounding environment . For example - Desert plants need more stored food than grassland plants .


Where are food and water stored in both plant and animal cells?

In plant cells, food and water are stored in the central vacuole. Animal cells do not have a central vacuole, so food and water are stored in organelles like mitochondria and the cytoplasm.
