The potato does not store sugar because there is no sugar in it. The plant has starch in it which is then turned into "sugar" when it is eaten and digested. -when starch is digested, it turns to glucose. The organelle holding the startch grains are called leucoplasts.

What form of sugar do plants store their food as?

Plants store their food as starch, which is a complex carbohydrate made up of many sugar molecules linked together. Starch can be found in various parts of plants, such as roots, stems, and seeds, serving as an energy reserve for the plant.

Where do plants store starch?

Plants manufacture glucose as a result of photosynthesis. Glucose is a simple sugar, but the plant cannot store it as glucose, because it takes up too much room. Instead, the plant produces starch, which is basically glucose without some water. This process is called dehydration synthesis, and it allows the plant to store the sugar it needs more efficiently. Humans and other animals, on the other hand, store sugar differently. We can't store glucose either, nor can we store starch because we're not plants; but we can store glucose as glycogen. Both starch and glycogen are polysaccharides, and both are formed by dehydration synthesis.


What plastid is found in potato?

Potato contains amyloplasts, which are a type of plastid specialized for starch storage. These amyloplasts store energy in the form of starch granules, which provides the potato with a source of nutrients during growth and development.

What tissue of a plant stores sugar and starches?

The tissue of a plant that stores sugar and starches is called parenchyma tissue. It is typically found in the roots, stems, and leaves of the plant and serves as a storage site for carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis.


The food manufactured by the process of photosynthesis is stored by the plant as?

The food manufactured by photosynthesis is stored in the form of glucose or starch in the plant's cells. This stored energy is used for growth, reproduction, and to fuel metabolic processes within the plant.


Why would a plant store sugar and where would it store it?

Try this : Sugar is (one of) the main product of photosynthesis. It is used by all of the cells of the plant for energy and for synthesis of other molecules. Plants usually store sugars as starch, but not all of it. Sugar is specifically stored as sugar in fruits and flowers as bait to entice the spreading of seeds and/or pollen.
