What else can I help you with?
Why might plant storage organs (such as fruit or tuber) contain both starch and sugar?
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.
What do plants do with the sugar they do not use immediately?
They polymerize the sugar into either cellulose and/or starch.
What is the name for a polysaccharide that plants use to store excess sugar?
starch
What do plants store as food?
sugar The plant store food in the form of non-soluble sugar (starch), proteins and fats.
What is sugar or starch for short?
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.
Plant cells change starch into sugar?
False
Why can protein and starch not be absorbed directly into the body?
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.

Does starch have sugar?
no, starch is sugar fool
Is the amyloplast a source of sugar?
Yes, amyloplasts store starch in potatoe cells and when the cell is ready will help in the process of making sugar.
Animal cells store excess sugar in the form of a polysaccharide called starch?
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.
Which substance does your body use fat to produce?
sugar and starch
Are starch and sugar synonymous?
Starch is an indigestible form of sugar.
How is excess sugar produced during photosynthesis converted into starch?
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.
What do legumes provide for rhizobium bacteria?
Sugar and starch.
What is the name for a polysaccharide that plants use to store excess sugar?
starch
