What polymer acts as an energy storage molecule?

Polymer glycogen acts as an energy storage molecule in animals, while polymer starch fulfills this function in plants. Both polymers consist of glucose monomers linked together in a chain-like structure, allowing for quick breakdown and release of energy when needed.


Name the food which the plant stores in is leaves?

Sunlight creates a chemical process to take place in chlorophyll containing plants which use the sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and releases oxygen as a by-product. Therefore, the food is carbohydrates.


What function do the leukoplast have in the potato plant?

the leucoplasts are plastids without color that are storing different substances (such as starch in the potato). you can find leucoplasts in parts of a plant that are subterranean (roots). when potatoes are exposed to the sun the leucoplasts will transform into chloroplasts (so they will become green). i am sorry for my english...


What is the chemical composition of ipil-ipil leaves that makes it ripen a banana faster?

Ipil-ipil leaves are known to release ethylene gas, a plant hormone that triggers fruit ripening. Ethylene acts as a signaling molecule in the fruit to initiate processes like starch breakdown and pigment production, leading to quicker ripening.


Which of these polymers acts as an energy storage molecule?

Starch and glycogen act as energy storage molecules in plants and animals, respectively. They are polysaccharides composed of glucose units and serve as a reserve of energy that can be broken down when needed by the organism.
