Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plants store carbohydrates in the form of
A
amino acids
B
fatty acids
C
starch
D
nucleic acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants store energy in the form of starch, instead of glucose, because starch is insoluble. This means that starch will not effect the water concentration inside cells and also it will not move away from the storage areas within the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants store starch because these carbohydrates are a way of preserving energy for later use. They trap glucose as part of the carbohydrate compound and break off smaller glucose units when they need to consume more energy than they readily have available through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants store glucose in the form of insoluble starch in leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
