AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The carbohydrates produced are stored in or used by the plant. Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants, stored in seeds, roots, and tubers for later use as an energy source for the plant to reproduce.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrate storage organs include stem bases, roots, rhizomes and/or stolons. Grass plants can utilize the sun’s energy only during daylight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants produce sugar in their leaves, but these leaves do not taste sweet. That is because the sugar does not remain in the leaves. Plants use sugar to grow, and it may also be transported to the roots, seeds, stalks, or fruits for storage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because the plant has no existing leaves, its only source of sugar for growth is the sugar stored in roots, tubers, or bulbs from the last growing season.

Detailed explanation-5: -Parenchyma cells serve as the site for storage of sugar and starch in stem and roots.
