In the leaf excess glucose is rapidly converted to starch. During photosynthesis, plants produce glucose and oxygen, reacting with water and carbon dioxide CO2. But during this process , plants often change some of the glucose into starch, for storage.
In order for plants to make starch, they need some vital factors including; chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and light. Light turns into chemical energy by chlorophyll or chloroplasts (organelles) which forms a chemical reaction that is stored as glucose, the glucose then turns into starch. light Carbon dioxide + water >>>>>>>>>>> Glucose + oxygen
Testing leaves for starch involves performing a chemical test to determine the presence of glucose, which is stored as starch in plants. This test typically involves applying iodine solution to the leaf, which turns blue-black in the presence of starch. This process helps to demonstrate the process of photosynthesis and the role of leaves in storing energy.
Glucose is not stored in lettuce; instead, lettuce primarily stores carbohydrates in the form of plant starch. This starch is a polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules linked together. When consumed, the body breaks down this starch into glucose for energy.
Most of the starch stored in the cells of a potato originally entered as glucose. Glucose molecules are synthesized from photosynthesis in the leaves and transported to the potato tuber for storage in the form of starch.
Starch is typically stored in the chloroplasts of plant cells, which are predominantly found in the mesophyll cells of a leaf. Mesophyll cells are where photosynthesis occurs, providing the energy needed to produce and store starch.
Fallen leaves do not turn blue-black when tested with iodine because they lack starch. Starch is a polysaccharide that is stored in plants as a source of energy. Leaves produce starch during photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight, but when the leaves fall, they no longer perform photosynthesis and thus do not store starch in them.
after the plant photosynthesises, it has some left over glucose that the leaves covert into starch. The starch is then stored in the chlorophyl (the green pigment in the leaves). At night or in the dark, the plant can't photosynthesise so it respires the stored starch instead
plants produce glucose because it is there source of food for energy
The bulb of an onion is formed from modified leaves. While photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of an onion containing chloroplast, the little glucose that is produced from this process is converted in to starch (starch granules) and stored in the bulb.
The hypothesis of testing leaves for starch is that leaves produce starch through photosynthesis and store it for energy. By conducting a test to detect the presence of starch in leaves, we can determine if photosynthesis has occurred in the leaf tissue being tested.
Mayana leaves contain starch, while hydrilla leaves do not contain starch. Starch is a carbohydrate storage molecule that plants produce through photosynthesis.

Starch is produced in green plants and used as stored energy. It is synthesized in the leaves. Some foods that are in the starch category are corn, pasta, grains, and potatoes.
The process of converting glucose to starch for storage in leaves primarily occurs in the chloroplasts, which are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis. This starch is then stored in the vacuoles of the leaf cells for later use as an energy source.
they nake starch and produce energy for the plant.
