Plant cells produce starch grains through the process of photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy. During this process, glucose is synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. Excess glucose is then polymerized into starch, which is stored in the form of starch grains within plastids, primarily chloroplasts. This stored starch serves as an energy reserve for the plant.
Starch grains are primarily found in plant cells, where they serve as a form of energy storage. Animals do not store energy as starch; instead, they primarily store energy in the form of glycogen. While some animal cells can contain small amounts of starch due to dietary intake or specific metabolic processes, it is not a typical characteristic of animal cells. Therefore, starch grains are not present in both animal and plant cells.
Starch grains are primarily associated with the chloroplasts in plant cells. They are synthesized and stored in chloroplasts as a reserve energy source for the plant.
Starch grains are primarily found in plant cells, where they serve as a storage form of energy. Plants synthesize starch through photosynthesis, and it is commonly stored in structures such as roots, tubers, and seeds. In contrast, animal cells do not store energy in the form of starch; instead, they store energy as glycogen.
Starch grains in plant cells are storage granules made up of chains of glucose molecules. They serve as a long-term energy reserve for the plant and are found primarily in storage organs like roots, tubers, and seeds. Starch grains can be broken down to provide glucose for energy during times of need.
Cellulose is not an animal starch. It comes from the cell walls of plant cells.

starch grains store food for plant cell .the starch grain just re-produces on and on. but like the Amyloplast, amyloplast gives away starch grain in its cell.

The starch grains mainly contain starch which is produced from photosynthesis
The starch grains, chloroplast and cell wall (vacuoles are larger in plants cells, but small scattered ones can be found in animal cells)
The colour for a plant cell's starch grains is typically blue or black when stained with iodine solution. This is due to the formation of a complex between iodine and starch, which results in the characteristic colour change.
Starch grains can be modified into many different forms with different functions. Typically though, these grains are used to store food for a plant generated by photosynthesis before it is stored elsewhere.
Amyloplast is also called leucoplast. It is a nonpigmented organelle, or plastid, occurring in the cytoplasm of plant cells. It transforms glucose (which is a simple sugar) into starch. The process of doing this is called polymerization. Amyloplast stores starch grains within their streched membranes. They also can transform starch into sugar when the plant needs energy.
