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

Why doesn't a plant produce as much starch in the absence of water as it does in the presence of water?

In order to produce starch, a plant has to combine water and the sugar it produces. Without water, a plant cannot produce starch.


Why do plants produce glucose?

plants produce glucose because it is there source of food for energy


What organism produces starch?

Plants are the primary organisms that produce starch through photosynthesis. They store excess glucose in the form of starch as an energy reserve. Other organisms, such as algae and certain bacteria, can also produce starch through similar biochemical processes.


Explain how the cells in the leaves are adapted to their jobs?

they nake starch and produce energy for the plant.


What happen to the sugar produce in the leaf?

some of the sugar is consumed by the plant while the remaining sugar is left at the stem to be stored as starch


Which part of the leaf contained 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.


Where in the leaf does starch produce?

Starch is produced in the chloroplasts of plant cells, specifically in the stroma, which is the fluid inside the chloroplasts where various enzymes are located for starch synthesis. The process of starch production involves photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose, which is then polymerized into starch for storage.


What is the swollen plant stem which starch is stored?

The swollen plant stem where starch is stored is called a "tuber." Tubers, such as potatoes, serve as energy reserves for the plant, allowing it to survive adverse conditions. They are typically thickened, fleshy, and can also produce new shoots, contributing to vegetative reproduction.


A plant produces glucose or sugar in order to produce what?

They produce sugars to be: 1) broken down for energy/food (cellular respiration to produce ATP) 2) linked together in long chains to produce starch and cellulose - starch can be used for coloring (white, like in flower petals) - cellulose is used to build the plant cell walls for support (especially thick in woody cells)


What are the uses of starch in the plant?

the starch is for food when needed


Where is the disaccharide sucrose found in a potato plant?

The Disaccharide Sucrose found in a potato plant is in the flesh of the potato. The potato is nearly 100% starch and carbohydrates that produce sugars in the body.


Which type of mesophyll can produce more starch?
