The function of starch in plant cells is primarily the storage, and then the releasing, of biochemical energy.
Starch and sugar are essentially the same thing. Starch is a polymer (chain) of single sugar molecules. As the starch is made up or broken down, you would expect to find both in the cells responsible for this action.
They polymerize the sugar into either cellulose and/or starch.
starch
sugar The plant store food in the form of non-soluble sugar (starch), proteins and fats.
Sugar and starch are carbohydrates that provide energy to the body when broken down during digestion. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate, while starch is a complex carbohydrate made of many sugar molecules linked together. Both supply the body with glucose, the primary source of energy for cells.
False
Because starch is a polymer of sugar molecules (lots of them all bound together as a store of sugar) and the cells in the body can only metabolize individual sugar molecules. Therefore the starch needs to be broken up into its individual sugars before it is any use to the cells.

no, starch is sugar fool
Yes, amyloplasts store starch in potatoe cells and when the cell is ready will help in the process of making sugar.
Actually, animal cells store excess sugar in the form of glycogen, not starch. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a short-term energy storage molecule in animals, while starch is commonly found in plants for energy storage.
sugar and starch
Starch is an indigestible form of sugar.
Excess sugar produced during photosynthesis is converted into starch through a process called polymerization. Enzymes like starch synthase help link glucose molecules together to form starch chains. This starch is stored in plant cells and serves as an energy reserve for the plant.
